Name: Artemisia cana (ssp. bolanderi, ssp. viscidula) / Leymus cinereus Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs in a semi-arid region of varied topography. Average annual precipitation is between 20-40 cm, with somewhat more at the higher elevations. Occurs in perennially moist, semi-alkaline, pluvial lakebeds above 3500 feet or montane meadows to 6500 feet. Only a few forb species occur, typically in moist microsites. These include species of Astragalus, Orthocarpus and Rorippa. Bare ground is extensive. Artemisia cana and Leymus cinereus are diagnostic species. The 1- to 2-m tall Artemisia cana is moderately to widely spaced in the canopy. The herbaceous layer is dominated by the widely spaced 2-m tall bunchgrass Leymus cinereus.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25796.ARTEMISIACANASS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
