Between the e:<tremes pinyon and the various <br />junipers constitute a true plant association, <br />Associated Overstory plants: Except Eor stunted ponderosa pine near the upper <br />1 elevations of the type there are no associated trees in the type, <br />Associated Understory plants: <br />• ~ Upper Limits <br />Mountain mahogany, Indian rice grass, mutton grass, sedges, prarie junegrass, <br />big sagebrush (west slope), service berry, cliff rose. <br />Lower Limits <br />Indian rice grass, blue p,rama, galleta, cheatgrass, Fendlcr three awn, Rabbit- <br />brush, Snakeweed, Fleabane. <br />Effects of Aspect and Position: At upper limits of <br />Facing slopes, On slopes the density is usuall <br />Plesa tops, moderately sloping lands, and valley <br />stands, <br />Site Index: do site index curves are available Cnr <br />stands will reach heights of over 35 feet, many <br />feet, Because of the uniformity of rite type no <br />type it prefers south and crest <br />~ less than on flatter areas. <br />floors usually have more dense <br />tlresc si~eci~s. •~hi1c srr~c <br />stands do not reach aver 2(, <br />site index caill be used, <br />Light tolerance: Tn secure reproducl i~~n some shn-Ir i~ err r~~„~1, hur th ~ boss 1•r~n•rh <br />is made in Cull sunlight. <br />Uses of the Species: .iunipers are a good source of fence posts, Pinyon pine is a <br />good fuel wood species and good for Christmas trees, Some trees on areas of <br />.L duper snf is arr hallor~ and hurlappPrl n ornamr~~~~n1 rr~ns.
