Name: Danthonia parryi Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association most commonly occurs in forest openings, in montane meadows or parks in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and in adjacent parts of Wyoming. Stands occur from 2260-3350 m (7400-11,000 feet) elevation. The soils are moister than those of adjacent grasslands dominated by Festuca arizonica and are composed of a silty clay with granitic gravel. Stands are usually <50 acres but occasionally are reported to be up to 600 acres in size. Ungrazed or lightly grazed stands of this association are characterized by dense Danthonia parryi. Other common species include Festuca arizonica, Festuca idahoensis, Koeleria macrantha, Muhlenbergia montana, Poa pratensis, Elymus trachycaulus, and Carex inops ssp. heliophila. Muhlenbergia montana may be more abundant on drier sites or those impacted by livestock grazing.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27372.DANTHONIAPARRYI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
