Name: Artemisia pedatifida / Pascopyrum smithii Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This vegetation type has been reported from the Cheyenne River Basin in east-central Wyoming and basins in south-central Wyoming. It occurs on broad ridgetops, gentle slopes, and level (or slightly concave) sites with soils of clay to loam texture. Soils often have a dense subsurface horizon that impedes percolation of water. The low vegetation is composed mainly of dwarf-shrubs and grasses. The dwarf-shrub component consists of Artemisia pedatifida and, often, Krascheninnikovia lanata and small shrubs of Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis. Pascopyrum smithii dominates the herbaceous component or codominates with Koeleria macrantha or Achnatherum hymenoides. Hesperostipa comata, Elymus elymoides, Poa secunda, and Phlox hoodii often are present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20152.ARTEMISIAPEDATI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
