Description: This alliance is found in the northern and western Great Plains and is dominated by short and medium-tall graminoids with a total vegetation cover of nearly 100%. Shrubs are often absent, and forbs are present but not usually abundant. Hordeum jubatum is the dominant species. Other common species include Elymus trachycaulus, Distichlis spicata, Pascopyrum smithii, Poa arida, Poa compressa, Rumex crispus, and Sonchus arvensis. Stands are located in lowlands with moderately to strongly saline soils. The topography is flat and the soils are often briefly flooded or saturated in the spring.
