Name: Artemisia filifolia / Calamovilfa longifolia Shrubland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This sand sagebrush shrub type is found in the northwestern Great Plains of the United States. Stands occur on sandhills, sandy ridges and sandy valleys. Shrubs are between 0.5 and 1 m in height, with cover typically greater than 20%. Artemisia filifolia is the dominant shrub. The only shrub that becomes codominant with Artemisia filifolia is Yucca glauca, and it typically occurs on lower sand ridges and places where sandhills interface with nearly flat butte tops. Herbaceous cover is sparse to moderate, typically consisting of Bouteloua gracilis, Calamovilfa longifolia, Sporobolus cryptandrus, Carex filifolia, and Andropogon hallii. Some stands may contain Schizachyrium scoparium.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22352.ARTEMISIAFILIFO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
