Name: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. arbuscula / Leymus salinus ssp. salmonis Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: The plant association is reported from the southern end of the Lemhi Range, Idaho, within the Beaverhead Mountains ecoregional section. The plant association occurs within a region of cool, arid climatic conditions. The average annual precipitation is 10-12 inches. The association occurs in lower slope positions, on relatively steep, northwest-facing slopes, at 5200-6000 feet elevation, on limestone parent materials. Soils are poorly developed, thin and rocky. Little information is available regarding the structure and composition of this association. The dwarf-shrub vegetation is dominated by Artemisia arbuscula. Pseudoroegneria spicata and Leymus salinus ssp. salmonis are codominant in the herbaceous layer and usually abundant, often exceeding 50% cover. No additional information is available on the species composition of the dwarf-shrub plant association.
