Name: Krascheninnikovia lanata Dwarf-shrub Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance occurs in the western Great Plains and southwestern United States. It is predominantly found in the West, and little is known about its expression in the Midwest. Short graminoids provide most of the vegetation cover, although a sparse short-shrub layer is what distinguishes this alliance from other vegetation types. Bouteloua gracilis is a typical abundant herbaceous species, while Krascheninnikovia lanata is characteristic of the shrub stratum. Exposed mineral soil is common. Stands of this alliance occur on fine-textured and often saline or alkaline soil.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18443.KRASCHENINNIKOV Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
