Name: Pteridium aquilinum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This herbaceous association is documented with plot data from Grand Teton National Park, western Wyoming, but has been observed elsewhere in the West. It usually occurs on steep slopes (40-55% and up) and is documented at elevations ranging from 2060 to 2260 m (6750-7400 feet). Sampled stands vary between east- and south-facing aspects. The well-drained soils include loamy sands and sandy clay loams. Stands are dominated by <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i>, along with other graminoids and forbs. <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i> has been associated with recently disturbed, mesic ground on steep slopes.
