Name: Rhus glabra / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs on foot and toeslopes between 435-900 m elevation in southeastern Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Stands are found on southeast- and southwest-facing slopes. This type is most common on talus slopes between 10-75%. The climate is very dry and continental, with hot summers and mild winters. Rhus glabra is the sole to dominant shrub, averaging 35% cover. In late successional stands the Rhus glabra tends to occur as patches with grasses growing in the openings. Pseudoroegneria spicata is the dominant grass in all stands averaging 28% cover. Bromus tectorum is often present, though its cover seldom exceeds 4%. Other grasses and forbs add about an additional 10% to the cover of the herbaceous layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24536.RHUSGLABRAPSEUD Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
