Abstract

A survey of literature shows that no community or bioecological study has ever been made of the pinyon pine-juniper association as it occurs in the Upper Sonoran Life Zone in New Mexico and southern Colorado. This deficiency of knowledge relative to the pinyon pine-juniper community is in direct contrast to several studies that have been made of the same community in Arizona and Utah by the presence of dominant trees of entirely different species. Relative to the association in New Mexico, one of the dominant tress, the pinyon pine (Pinus edulis Engelm), has been investigated, but no bioecological and community studies have been made of the association as a whole.
