Description: This low, dwarf-shrub vegetation type grows on flats and slopes in the basins of west-central and northwestern Colorado, and south-central Wyoming. In west-central Colorado (Mesa County), stands of this type grow on north-facing shale slopes with clay soils. In northwestern Colorado (Moffat County), it occurs on flat to gently sloping sites with clay soils from 6200-7000 feet elevation. The vegetation is mainly bunchgrass with scattered low shrubs. Leymus salinus dominates the herbaceous component, and Atriplex gardneri is the main shrub species.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26256.ATRIPLEXGARDNER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
