Name: Phleum alpinum Temporarily Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Plant associations within this alliance are reported from the subalpine and alpine zones of northwestern Wyoming. Elevations range from 2500-3900 m. Associations are found in mesic meadows, seeps, streambanks, and moist woods, and the slopes are typically gentle. Soils are mesic with a deep A horizon. The texture varies from fine to medium and is sandy or loamy. These communities are dominated by Phleum alpinum. Carex aquatilis or Carex microptera typically codominate in the graminoid layer. Other common graminoids include Deschampsia caespitosa, Calamagrostis canadensis, and Trisetum wolfii. Associates in the forb layer can be Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus), Antennaria corymbosa, Agoseris glauca, Geum macrophyllum, Polygonum bistortoides, and Epilobium ciliatum ssp. glandulosum (= Epilobium glandulosum).  Accession Code: VB.CC.21741.PHLEUMALPINUMTE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
