Picea glauca, Juniperus horizontalis, Arctostaphylos uva-iirsi, Oryzopsis asperifolia, Corniis canadensis, Chima- phila umbellata, mosses, lichens. Mixed Savanna (Spruce-Oak-Aspen): a very common plant community in the Carberry Sandhills and, with the absence of white spruce, also in other areas; sandy soil is well drained with a thin layer of litter and humus (Figure 5). Picea glauca, Quercus macro- carpa, Populus tremuloides, Cornus spp., Symphori- carpos occidentalis, Eleagnus commutata, Juniperus horizontalis, J. communis, Andropogon gerardi, Festuca ovina. Mixed Savanna (Spruce-Aspen-Juniper): occurs most often on sand plains and gently rolling, stabilized dunes; spruce and small aspen stands are widely spaced while junipers form a carpet amid bunch grasses and cacti, with sand exposed in places; little humus or litter on dry sand. Picea glauca, Populus tremuloides, Juniperus horizontalis, J. com- munis, Betula occidentalis, Salix sp., Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Bouteloua gracilis, Stipa spp., Andro- pogon scoparius, Opuntia jragilis, Mamillaria vivi- para. Groveland: aspen groves dispersed on flat or gently rolling plains of xeric mixed-grass prairie; a thick layer of litter over mull soil within the groves; little humus or litter under spaced bunch grasses, forbs, and juniper. Populus tremuloides, Stipa spar- tea, S. comata, Bouteloua gracilis, Koeleria cristata, Andropogon scoparius, Juniperus horizontalis. Astra- galus caryocarpus, Artemesia spp., Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. Xeric Mixed-grass Prairie: same as groveland prairie without the aspen; hot, arid sand plains with open patches of sand between the plants (Figure 8). Opport
