Name: Festuca idahoensis - Symphoricarpos albus Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This grassland association is found in southeastern Washington, and possibly occurs in Idaho and Oregon. Stands typically occur above 1300 m elevation on steep slopes where moisture is available well into summer drought because of cool aspect or subsurface seepage. Soils are generally derived from loess. Forested stringer communities are often in close proximity. Festuca idahoensis dominates the association, masking the low Symphoricarpos albus. Other bunch grasses which occur may include Pseudoroegneria spicata (= Agropyron spicatum), Koeleria macrantha, and Poa secunda (= Poa sandbergii). The bunch grasses usually dominate 4:1 over the Symphoricarpos albus. Other associates may include Bromus briziformis, Balsamorhiza sagittata, Lupinus sericeus, Lupinus sp., Achillea millefolium, Lithospermum ruderale, and Clarkia pulchella.
