| Environmental Summary: | This ecological community occurs in the southern interior valley bottoms on coarse, glaciofluvial terraces where soils are droughty throughout the growing season. It is also found on ridge crests where sites are similarly nutrient poor and droughty (Lloyd et al. 1990). | |
