Name: Hordeum brachyantherum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is found at 915-2684 m (3000-8800 feet) elevation in widely scattered mountain and basin locations ranging from the northern half of the Great Basin in Nevada through the southern one-third of Idaho. The association is found along both intermittent and perennial streams, but most commonly occurs in ephemerally moist to semipermanently saturated, often spring-fed, meadows and swales. It occurs in low- to moderate-gradient valley bottoms that range from very narrow to very wide with clayey, silty, or fine loamy soil. It is a small-patch community, generally occupying 0.1 to 1 acres. Hordeum brachyantherum typically forms a continuous layer with cover ranging from 25% to nearly 100%. Cover of graminoid associates varies and may include Carex athrostachya, Carex microptera, Danthonia californica, Deschampsia caespitosa, Eleocharis palustris, Elymus trachycaulus, Poa secunda (= Poa nevadensis), which is occasionally codominant, and/or Poa pratensis. Forb cover is sparse and is characterized by Camassia quamash, Epilobium spp., Mimulus guttatus, Iris missouriensis, Rumex crispus, Symphyotrichum spp., and various vernal annuals.
