Name: Carex vernacula - Poa fendleriana Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is reported from a single drainage in the western Great Basin of northern Nevada. It occupies low spots with gentle slopes within a sagebrush steppe community matrix. It has a high cover of vegetation (86%). Soils are fine-textured, well-developed, and seasonally wet (mottling). This herbaceous community is dominated by the graminoids Carex vernacula and Poa fendleriana. Because most stands have been heavily grazed, forbs such as Monolepis nuttalliana, Phlox, and Potentilla arguta may contribute significantly to the total cover. Shrubs are absent.
