Type: | Group |
Parent classification: | Intermountain Pinyon - Juniper Woodland |
Scientific Name: | Pinus monophylla - Juniperus osteosperma Woodland Group |
Location: | United States (Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, California) |
Description: | This woodland group occurs on dry mountain ranges of the Great Basin region and eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada and is characterized by an open to moderately dense tree canopy typically composed of a mix of Pinus monophylla and Juniperus osteosperma, but either tree species may dominate as long as there is significant presence of Pinus monophylla (not accidental) to characterize the stand as a pinyon-juniper stand and not the more xeric, typically lower-elevation Juniperus osteosperma woodland and savanna. |
