Name: Sarcobatus vermiculatus / Artemisia tridentata Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This mixed bottomland shrubland is characteristic of stream terraces and floodplains of the Intermountain West. The presence of other shrubs in the canopy indicates less saline conditions than found in <i>~Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i> Disturbed Shrubland (CEGL001357)$$. Soils are deep and generally sandy, but a few sites are on well-drained silt loams or clays. The sagebrush element may be either <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentata</i> or <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis</i>, and either the sagebrush or <i>Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i> may have the greater cover. <i>Atriplex canescens, Ericameria nauseosa</i>, and <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> are other common minor elements of the shrub canopy. Total shrub cover is between 5 and 30%. The understory is variable; cover by herbaceous species may be sparse to dense, or exotic species may dominate the field layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32401.CEGL001359 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
