This is an open woodland association with <i>Juniperus osteosperma</i> and <i>Pinus edulis</i> in the tree canopy. There is a tall-shrub stratum dominated by <i>Amelanchier utahensis</i>. Other tall and dwarf-shrubs may be present with low cover. The herbaceous layer has sparse to low cover. Stands occur at 1406-2510 m in elevation, with southern-most and lower elevations on cooler aspects and more northerly and higher stands on warmer aspects. They occur on gentle to steep slopes, and the soils are very rocky, well-drained, and vary from clay to sandy loams derived from marine shale, sandstones or granite.
