Description: Vegetation types within this alliance occur on dry, open slopes in subalpine and alpine areas. Elevations range from 3390-3915 m. They occur on south- and east-oriented slopes on unstabilized talus with slopes ranging from 2-25%. Occurrences are typically located on rocky snowpatches between large boulders with some exposed bare soil. Soils are rocky and thin with a pH average of 5.5. Vegetation types within this alliance are classified as short alpine or subalpine sod grasslands. ~Carex perglobosa$ dominates the graminoid layer. Other constants are ~Minuartia biflora$ and ~Silene acaulis$ in the forb layer. The moss layer is insignificant, with constants ~Cladonia pyxidata$ and ~Polytrichum piliferum$.
