Name: Sporobolus airoides Northern Plains Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This saline alkali sacaton community type is found in the northwestern Great Plains of the United States. Stands occur in moderately saline sites. This community has low species diversity and is dominated by moderately salt-tolerant graminoids. Total vegetation cover is sparse to moderate, and bare ground is common. The dominant species is Sporobolus airoides. Graminoids of high constancy in Montana include Poa cusickii and Poa secunda (= Poa juncifolia). Less common graminoids include Distichlis spicata, Hordeum jubatum, and Pascopyrum smithii. Forbs of highest constancy in Montana include Symphyotrichum falcatum (= Aster falcatus), Plantago eriopoda, and Iva axillaris.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23584.SPOROBOLUSAIROI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
