Name: Bromus tectorum Ruderal Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This herbaceous vegetation type is found throughout much of western North America from the western Great Plains to the Intermountain West. It occurs most often after disturbance of a natural shrub- or grass-dominated community that results in the replacement of the natural vegetation by non-native, annual grass species of <i>Bromus</i>. <i>Bromus tectorum</i> typically dominates the community with over 80-90% of the total vegetation cover, making it difficult to determine what natural community was formerly present. This vegetation also includes grasslands dominated or codominated by other Eurasian introduced annual <i>Bromus</i> species such as <i>Bromus hordeaceus, Bromus madritensis, Bromus japonicus, Bromus rigidus</i>, or <i>Bromus rubens</i>. It is distinct from the annual <i>Bromus</i> communities found along the Pacific Coast typical of the Mediterranean or maritime climates.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32043.CEGL003019 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
