Name: Ivesia gordonii Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: These herbaceous communities are found scattered in alpine fell-field environments in the mountains of central Idaho. They are typically found on small, gently sloped ridgecrest sites between approximately 3170-3355 m elevation. Some sites resemble stabilized talus more than fell-field. Substrates are rocky, poorly developed with little soil development. Stands have a sparse herbaceous layer of low-growing, prostrate, mat-forming forb species and a few graminoids that grow between the exposed rocks. Ivesia gordonii is dominant or codominant with Eriogonum caespitosum or Minuartia obtusiloba. Associated species may include Agoseris glauca, Minuartia obtusiloba (= Arenaria obtusiloba), Eriogonum ovalifolium, Oxytropis parryi, Poa cusickii ssp. epilis (= Poa epilis), Potentilla diversifolia, Phlox pulvinata, Smelowskia calycina, and Trisetum spicatum. The moss Selaginella densa is often present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20221.IVESIAGORDONIIH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
