Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Eriogonum heracleoides Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is described from stands located in the upper Hells Canyon region. Similar stands are located in the Seven Devils and eastern Salmon River mountains. The association occurs on moderately steep to steep, southeast- to southwest-facing, mid to upper slopes at 4300-5600 feet elevation. Soils are derived from basalt rock and colluvium. Pseudoroegneria spicata - Eriogonum heracleoides is the highest elevation Pseudoroegneria spicata-dominated plant association. Eriogonum heracleoides is well represented in the open bunch grass stands. Melica bulbosa is often present. Consistently associated forbs are Achillea millefolium, Frasera albicaulis, Penstemon venustus, and Lupinus caudatus. Sites are more moist and cool compared to other Pseudoroegneria spicata-dominated habitats. High-elevation Festuca idahoensis - Pseudoroegneria spicata communities are often adjacent.
