Environmental Description: This woodland association is widespread geographically but often occurs very locally in the landscape in steamsides and river terraces of intermittent washes, often between 1315 and 1980 m (4300-6500 feet). Common soils include Typic Ustifluvents, Fluventic Haplustolls, and Fluventic Ustochrepts (site specific determination of soils may be required). The soils are often cut by gullies and arroyos.
Geographic Range: This juniper woodland occurs in Arizona and New Mexico.
