Name: Artemisia pedatifida / Elymus elymoides Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This vegetation type has been reported from basins in south-central Wyoming, where it occurs on level to moderately sloping sites with soils of clay to loam texture. The low vegetation is composed mainly of dwarf-shrubs and grasses. The dwarf-shrub component generally consists of Artemisia pedatifida and at least one other species, either Kochia americana, Atriplex gardneri, or Krascheninnikovia lanata. Elymus elymoides and Poa secunda generally are the major herbaceous species, although Achnatherum hymenoides, Pascopyrum smithii, and Phlox hoodii usually are present and may contribute substantial cover.
