Description: This ~Elaeagnus commutata$ shrubland is a minor type forming narrow stringers on stream terraces in northern Montana, east of the Continental Divide. Stands in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Idaho appear to be more mesic than those from the eastern portion of its range. ~Elaeagnus commutata$ is the dominant shrub throughout. ~Salix$ spp., ~Amelanchier alnifolia$, and ~Prunus virginiana$ may be common in western stands, while ~Rosa woodsii$ and ~Artemisia cana$ may occur in eastern stands. Common grasses in the east are Eurasian meadow grasses, while ~Elymus lanceolatus (= Agropyron dasystachyum), Hesperostipa comata (= Stipa comata)$, and ~Koeleria macrantha$ are common in the west. Riparian forbs are common in western stands, while grassland forbs predominate in eastern stands.
