Name: Ericameria nauseosa / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This common rabbitbrush shrubland type is found in localized areas across the northern Great Plains of the United States. As described from the Dakotas, stands occur either on dry, steep slopes along roadcuts or in heavily grazed floodplains. In the Dakotas, the vegetation has an open structure, with clumps of shrubs around 0.5-1 m tall scattered over a medium-tall herbaceous layer. Ericameria nauseosa (= Chrysothamnus nauseosus) is the dominant shrub. Other less common shrubs include Prunus virginiana and Symphoricarpos occidentalis. The herbaceous layer may contain the graminoids Elymus trachycaulus ssp. trachycaulus and Pascopyrum smithii. Forbs include Melilotus officinalis. Stands may contain a variety of other weedy species. Farther west, in Montana, the dominant graminoid is Pseudoroegneria spicata.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25174.ERICAMERIANAUSE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
