Description: This alliance is found in subalpine meadows in northwestern Wyoming. Stands are found between 1970-2500 m on all aspects of gentle to steep slopes. The soils are derived from limestone, sandstone, or shale parent materials and have clay or clay loam textures. Wyethia amplexicaulis forms large stands, greater than 1 acre in size, and dominates the herbaceous canopy with 50-75% cover. Achillea millefolium, Bromus carinatus, Collomia linearis, and Geranium viscosissimum are common forb and graminoid associates.
