Name: Pinus ponderosa Scree Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: In the Black Hills, talus and scree slopes are found scattered throughout at elevations in the range of 1100 to 1980 m (3600-6500 feet). They are best developed in association with metamorphic rock outcrops (schist, slate) in the Central Core, sandstone cliffs and canyons in the Hogback Rim, and Tertiary igneous features in the northern Black Hills (e.g., Devils Tower, Sundance Mountain, Bear Butte). Soils generally are poor and restricted to small accumulations among talus and scree. The concept of this type applies to stands with greater than 20% tree canopy cover dominated by <i>Pinus ponderosa</i>. The understory is thought to be generally sparse. See BHCI report.
