Name: Geum rossii - Trifolium spp. Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This vegetation type has been described from the alpine zone of the Absaroka Mountains of northwestern Wyoming and the Beartooth Plateau of northwestern Wyoming and south-central Montana. It occurs on sites where little snow accumulates, but that are somewhat protected from the wind. The vegetation is a combination of upright forbs and cushion plants with few graminoids. Geum rossii var. turbinatum dominates or codominates, and a series of cushion plants (especially Trifolium nanum, Trifolium dasyphyllum, Sedum lanceolatum, Phlox multiflora, Arenaria congesta, and Minuartia obtusiloba, Smelowskia calycina) and upright forbs (especially Polygonum bistortoides, Cerastium arvense, Lomatium cous, Potentilla diversifolia, and Besseya wyomingensis) may contribute substantial cover. Luzula spicata, Trisetum spicatum, and Carex nardina are the most common graminoids.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20350.GEUMROSSIITRIFO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
