Name: Artemisia rothrockii Shrubland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This dwarf-shrubland occurs on slopes and ridges in the subalpine regions of California. It is generally present in the zone between meadow and forest, growing on gravelly, carbonate-rich soils. Elevations range from 2000-3100 m. The nominal species' growth occurs mainly early to mid summer, with flowering in late summer. The species is dormant in the fall, winter, and early spring due to cold. Artemisia rothrockii is the sole or dominant shrub in the canopy. Other shrubs present may include Ericameria discoidea, Ericameria suffruticosa, Penstemon heterodoxus, and Monardella odoratissima. Emergent conifers, such as Pinus balfouriana, Pinus contorta var. murrayana, and Pinus albicaulis, may be present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22497.ARTEMISIAROTHRO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
