Name: A.1360
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Plant associations within this alliance are reported from the subalpine and alpine zones of northwestern Wyoming. Elevations range from 2500-3900 m. Associations are found in mesic meadows, seeps, streambanks, and moist woods, and the slopes are typically gentle. Soils are mesic with a deep A horizon. The texture varies from fine to medium and is sandy or loamy. These communities are dominated by ~Phleum alpinum$. ~Carex aquatilis$ or ~Carex microptera$ typically codominate in the graminoid layer. Other common graminoids include ~Deschampsia caespitosa, Calamagrostis canadensis$, and ~Trisetum wolfii$. Associates in the forb layer can be ~Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus), Antennaria corymbosa, Agoseris glauca, Geum macrophyllum, Polygonum bistortoides$, and ~Epilobium ciliatum ssp. glandulosum (= Epilobium glandulosum)$.
