Reference: Mattson, D. J. 1984. Classificat...
Description: This association is a type of open meadow vegetation found in the central plateau of Yellowstone National Park and adjacent Grand Teton National Park, northwestern Wyoming. Stands occur as inclusions on dry sites in extensive moist meadows. Elevations are between 1980 and 2134 m (6500-7000 feet), and stands occur on level to gentle slopes. Substrates are deep, mesic, medium-textured, mineral soils. The vegetation is less than 3 dm tall and moderately open, with patchy moss ground cover. <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> and <i>Danthonia intermedia</i> are constant species, and other common species (that may be abundant) include <i>Phleum alpinum, Carex praticola, Potentilla diversifolia, Antennaria corymbosa, Deschampsia caespitosa</i>, and several other forb species. <i>Carex filifolia</i> is not present.
