Grasslands
Grasslands occur largely at elevations between 4,000 and 5,000 feet. Typical areas occur in the Verde Valley, north of Prescott, in Chino and Lonesome Valleys, and along Interstate 40 between Ash Fork and Seligman. In climax plant communities, blue grama, tobosa, black grama, hairy grama, and side-oats grama predominate. Ring muhly and three-awn may be present but make up only a small part of the total vegetation.
