Name: Rubus idaeus ssp. strigosus Shrubland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Vegetation in this alliance occurs on rocky talus slopes in the alpine tundra in the Colorado Front Range. Stands are found in the lower alpine tundra close to and within the krummholz between 3300-3450 m elevation, on warm, dry microsites on stable and unstable, moving scree slopes. The ground is covered with cobbles or boulders and is nearly blown free of snow in the winter. Soils are young and poorly developed due to low soil temperature, low soil moisture during the summer, and a short growing season. Rubus idaeus ssp. strigosus is the dominant species. Aquilegia caerulea var. caerulea, Valeriana edulis var. edulis, Heterotheca villosa, Festuca brachyphylla, and Trisetum spicatum are the most common forbs and, when present, occur in low abundance. Moss cover is very sparse due to the dry, rocky substrate of the alliance.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23645.RUBUSIDAEUSSSPS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
