Name: Artemisia cana (ssp. bolanderi, ssp. viscidula) / Poa fendleriana ssp. fendleriana Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This community occurs on broad, low-gradient floodplains at moderate to high elevations where it occurs on dry terraces and inactive floodplains and on the dry margins of mid-elevation meadows. Elevations range from 4400-5600 feet, and as high as 7000 feet in the Warner Mountains. Soils are deep, easily eroded alluvium with surface textures of fine sandy to silty clay loams. Available water-holding capacity is moderately high. Water tables are within 2 feet of the soil surface in May and June, dropping to 4-5.5 feet below the soil surface in July through September. Artemisia cana is the dominant shrub. Artemisia tridentata (usually ssp. vaseyana but occasionally ssp. tridentata) is also common in some sites. Poa fendleriana is the dominant herbaceous species. Other common herbaceous species include Koeleria macrantha, Elymus trachycaulus, Muhlenbergia richardsonis, Achnatherum occidentale ssp. occidentale, Carex praegracilis, Achillea millefolium, Symphyotrichum campestre var. bloomeri (= Aster campestris var. bloomeri), and Cirsium foliosum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23446.ARTEMISIACANASS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
