Name: Coleogyne ramosissima - Purshia stansburiana - Quercus havardii var. tuckeri Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This Colorado Plateau shrubland is characterized by a shrub layer of <i>Coleogyne ramosissima</i> accompanied by either or both <i>Purshia stansburiana</i> and <i>Quercus havardii var. tuckeri</i>. Occasionally <i>Coleogyne ramosissima</i> may be absent, but then both <i>Purshia stansburiana</i> and <i>Quercus havardii var. tuckeri</i> are prominent. Several other associated shrubs may be present. The herbaceous layer is moderately diverse in terms of species composition but provides only sparse cover. Total vegetation cover ranges from 5 to 70%. Stands occur on semi-stabilized sandsheets, dunes and sand-filled pockets in sandstone slickrock. They occur on a variety of landforms with flat to gentle slopes (0-12%) between 1172 and 1670 m (3845-5475 feet) elevation. Soils are rapidly drained loamy sands, silt loams, sands, or sandy clay loams derived from eolian sands, alluvium, sandstones or shales.
