Name: Phlox pulvinata - Trifolium dasyphyllum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alpine cushion-plant vegetation association has been named from Carter Mountain on the eastern side of the Absaroka Mountains in northwestern Wyoming. Stands of this type occur on moderately steep slopes in the lee of ridgetops. Soils are loamy to sandy loam in texture, moderately deep, stony throughout, and provide less water than soils on other topographic positions in the area. The vegetation, as described by standing crop rather than cover, consists mainly of Phlox pulvinata and Trifolium dasyphyllum, with Artemisia scopulorum, Lomatium cous, Oxytropis parryi, Phlox multiflora, and Arenaria congesta as common species. Graminoids (mainly Poa spp., Koeleria macrantha, Carex elynoides, and Carex obtusata) produce less standing crop than do the cushion forbs.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27470.PHLOXPULVINATAT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
