Name: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longiloba / Poa secunda Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This low-shrub association is found between 1600 and 2600 m (5250-8530 feet) elevation in southwestern Idaho, north-central Colorado, and northeastern Nevada. It is located on gentle to moderate slopes, ridges, and basin bottoms of northerly and southeasterly aspects. Soils tend to be a heavy clay loam. Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longiloba dominates the shrub overstory. Traces to low coverage of Purshia tridentata, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, and Ericameria nauseosa may also be present. Elymus elymoides and Festuca idahoensis are consistently present with Poa secunda. Common forbs include Allium acuminatum, Eriogonum caespitosum, and Phlox hoodii.
