Description: Vegetation is characterized by an open to moderately dense shrub canopy dominated by the diagnostic evergreen scrub tree <i>Juniperus pinchotii</i>. Common associates include <i>Dalea formosa, Prosopis glandulosa, Quercus havardii, Quercus mohriana, Quercus pungens, Viguiera stenoloba, Yucca</i> spp., and <i>Ziziphus obtusifolia</i>. There is a sparse to moderate herbaceous layer dominated by <i>Bouteloua curtipendula, Bouteloua eriopoda, Bouteloua gracilis, Bouteloua hirsuta, Muhlenbergia emersleyi</i>, and <i>Muhlenbergia setifolia</i>. This alliance is found in the Sierra Madre Oriental in northern Mexico, in mountains across Trans-Pecos Texas and extends into southeastern New Mexico into the Guadalupe Mountains. Stands often dominate along the mid-elevation transition from the Chihuahuan Desert into mountains (1700-2500 m). Sites include foothills, mountain slopes and canyons in drier habitats below the encinal and pine woodlands.
