Name: Pinus ponderosa / Pseudoroegneria spicata Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ponderosa pine woodland is one of the drier ponderosa pine woodlands found in the northern Rocky Mountains, Inter-Mountains, and extreme northwestern Great Plains of the United States and Canada. It is found on slopes with coarse soils, often with a high gravel or rock content. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> is typically the only tree in the overstory, although <i>Juniperus scopulorum</i> may be present in the subcanopy. It forms open to moderately closed canopies. There are very few shrubs. The herbaceous layer is dominated by <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>. Other species found in this layer are <i>Carex filifolia, Carex inops ssp. heliophila, Koeleria macrantha, Achillea millefolium, Balsamorhiza sagittata</i> and <i>Hesperostipa comata</i>. Bare mineral soil and exposed rock are common.
