Name: Thinopyrum intermedium Ruderal Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This <i>Thinopyrum intermedium</i> type occurs widely throughout the northern Great Plains of the United States, and perhaps more widely in the midwestern U.S. and Canada. It also occurs in the Colorado Plateau and southern Rocky Mountains at montane elevations and likely occurs elsewhere in the western U.S. Stands can occur in a wide variety of human-disturbed habitats. <i>Thinopyrum intermedium (= Agropyron intermedium)</i> is widely planted as pasture and hayland along road ditches for Conservation Reserve Program lands, and in dense-nesting-cover mixes. It is commonly found on reseeded cultivated lands planted with legumes, such as sweetclover and alfalfa, and may also have escaped into surrounding habitats. 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 dominated by <i>Thinopyrum intermedium</i>, a naturalized, cool-season grass species from eastern Europe. Other weedy species such as <i>Bromus inermis</i> may occur as well, but native species are generally less than 20% cover. Native grass species will rarely, if ever, reestablish in sites dominated by <i>Thinopyrum intermedium</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32301.CEGL002935 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
