Name: A.1604
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: These lush, forb-dominated subalpine meadows and parks occur in the mountains and plateaus of western Wyoming. Elevations range from 1990-3330 m. Sites vary from gentle to steep slopes, but are most often midslopes with eastern aspects. Stands have a dense (nearly 100% cover), tall herbaceous layer that is dominated by mixed perennial forbs. ~Ligusticum filicinum$ often dominates with lesser amounts of ~Delphinium X occidentale$ or ~Osmorhiza occidentalis$. Associated perennial forbs include ~Geranium viscosissimum, Lupinus argenteus, Senecio crassulus, Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus)$, and ~Potentilla gracilis$. Graminoids are relatively sparse and include ~Elymus trachycaulus, Bromus carinatus$, and ~Melica spectabilis$. These stands have high species richness with an average of 24 species per plot.
