Name: Thinopyrum intermedium Semi-natural Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This Thinopyrum intermedium type occurs widely throughout the northern Great Plains of the United States, at montane elevations in the Intermountain West, and perhaps more widely in the West, Midwest and Canada. Stands can occur in a wide variety of human-disturbed habitats, and Thinopyrum intermedium (= Agropyron intermedium) is widely planted as pasture and hayland along road ditches, for CRP, and in dense-nesting-cover mixes (D. Ode pers. comm.). It is commonly found on reseeded cultivated lands planted with legumes such as sweet clover and alfalfa and may also have escaped into surrounding habitats (D. Ode pers. comm.). It is most abundant on dry, medium-textured soils, but has adapted to a broad range of soil textures and moisture conditions. Vegetation is primarily medium-tall (0.5-1 m) graminoids and dominated by Thinopyrum intermedium, a naturalized, cool-season grass species from eastern Europe. Other weedy species such as Bromus inermis may occur as well, but native species are generally less than 20% cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28450.THINOPYRUMINTER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
