Name: Festuca idahoensis - Carex filifolia Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This montane grassland association occurs in the mountains of western Montana and north-central Wyoming. Stands are found infrequently on gentle terrain (5-20% slope) in or near mountain saddles or on alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 1280-2800 m (4200-9200 feet). Soils are rapidly drained and have coarse textures. The vegetation has a dense and diverse herbaceous layer codominated by medium-tall perennial graminoids and perennial forbs. The dominant species are Festuca idahoensis, Carex filifolia, Danthonia intermedia, Geum triflorum, Gentiana affinis, Antennaria rosea, and Achillea millefolium. The lack of Pseudoroegneria spicata, Pascopyrum smithii, or Elymus caninus as a codominant species makes this association distinct.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27388.FESTUCAIDAHOENS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
