It occurs from about 1650 to 2060 m (5400-6750 feet) elevation on gentle to steep hillslopes of northerly aspects. Stands are characterized by moderately open canopies (30-60% cover) of <i>Pinus cembroides</i> or <i>Pinus discolor</i> in association with the evergreen oaks <i>Quercus arizonica</i> or <i>Quercus grisea</i>. <i>Juniperus deppeana</i> is usually present but not dominant. The understory is diverse (96 species have been recorded for the association), grassy, and dominated by <i>Muhlenbergia emersleyi</i>. Other common grasses include <i>Piptochaetium fimbriatum, Schizachyrium cirratum</i>, and <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i>.
