Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Plant associations within this temperate or subpolar grassland alliance are reported from subalpine and alpine areas in Wyoming and Nevada, and possibly California. Elevations range from 2500-3900 m. Associations are found in mesic meadows, seeps, streambanks, and moist woods. Sites are well-drained, typically on gentle slopes of southeast, south, or west aspects. The water table generally is greater than 1 m below the surface. This alliance is characterized by the dominance of ~Phleum alpinum$. ~Achillea millefolium$ or ~Elymus trachycaulus$ typically codominate. Associates in the forb layer can be ~Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus), Antennaria corymbosa, Agoseris glauca$, and ~Epilobium ciliatum ssp. glandulosum (= Epilobium glandulosum)$.
