Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Singleleaf Pinyon - (Utah Juniper) / Littleleaf Mountain-mahogany Woodland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is currently described from the Great Basin National Park, Nevada. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This woodland association is known from elevations ranging from 2026-2406 m (6650-7891 feet) on flat to steep slopes. Sites include channel beds, gullies, low to high slopes, and ridges on all aspects. Substrates include alluvium, bedrock and colluvium derived of limestone, granite, quartzite, and schist. Soils are well- to rapidly drained and composed of sandy clay loam, sandy loam, loamy sand, silty clay loam, and clay sand. This association is characterized by a sparse to closed (10-65% cover) canopy codominated by Pinus monophylla and Juniperus osteosperma. The understory is characterized by sparse to open tall-shrub layer and subcanopy dominated by Cercocarpus intricatus. Other shrubs may be subdominant and include Artemisia nova, Brickellia microphylla, Ephedra viridis, Glossopetalon spinescens, Peraphyllum ramosissimum, and Symphoricarpos longiflorus. The herbaceous layer may be essentially absent or dominated by bunch grasses including Poa fendleriana and Elymus elymoides. Common forbs include Arabis holboellii, Collinsia parviflora, Descurainia sophia, Eriogonum racemosum, Lathyrus brachycalyx, Petradoria pumila, Phlox longifolia, and Stephanomeria spinosa.
