Name: Deschampsia caespitosa - Phleum alpinum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This type occupies wet alpine and subalpine meadows in the Bighorn Mountains of north-central Wyoming and the Medicine Bow Mountains and Sierra Madre of south-central Wyoming. Deschampsia caespitosa dominates the vegetation, and Phleum alpinum is a subdominant. A number of other graminoids and forbs often are present, including Carex spp., Achillea millefolium, Antennaria corymbosa, Symphyotrichum foliaceum, Ranunculus alismifolius, and Pedicularis groenlandica. Dasiphora fruticosa may also be present, but shrubs contribute little cover.
