Name: Artemisia tridentata Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This broadly distributed alliance is found in the western United States on dry steppes. It occurs primarily in the West; however, this description is based on the vegetation in western North Dakota and eastern Montana. Shrubs are conspicuous in this alliance, but herbaceous species usually have equal or greater coverage. The shrub stratum is typically 0.3-0.7 m tall. Artemisia tridentata is the most abundant shrub. Stands of Artemisia tridentata in the Little Missouri National Grassland have been identified as Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis. Further review of the taxonomy in North and South Dakota is needed to determine the distribution of this alliance.
