Name: Poa nervosa - Achnatherum lettermanii Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This plant association occurs at elevations between 10,600-11,300 feet and on slopes that are generally less than 15%. The landscape relief is most often concave which lends itself to favorable soil moisture conditions despite the southerly aspects preferred by this community. The soils are deep, well-drained loam with gravel and sand present in the subsurface as well. Parent material for this association is sandstone. In this community, Poa nervosa has approximately 15% cover and Achnatherum lettermanii (= Stipa lettermanii) 11% cover. Associated species include Festuca brachyphylla, Phleum alpinum, Poa fendleriana, Trisetum spicatum, Achillea millefolium var. occidentalis (= Achillea lanulosa), Agoseris glauca, Erigeron peregrinus, Erigeron simplex, Hymenoxys hoopesii (= Helenium hoopesii), Polygonum bistortoides, Packera crocata (= Senecio crocatus) and Viola nuttallii. This classification is based on three stands found in the southeastern and south-central portions of the White River Plateau in Colorado. This community has only been documented in Colorado.
