Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Poa fendleriana Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association is typically found on bald, wind-swept ridgetops between 2440 and 3050 m (8000-10,000 feet) in elevation. Soils are shallow and gravelly, classifying as Lithic Cryoborolls. The vegetation in this community is very sparse. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata, Poa fendleriana</i>, and <i>Koeleria macrantha</i> are constant associates in this association. Shrubs are commonly absent, if they are present it is in very low numbers. Shrubs that may occur with very low cover include <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Ericameria nauseosa (= Chrysothamnus nauseosus), Artemisia frigida</i>, and <i>Tetradymia canescens</i>. Forbs often associated with this community are <i>Castilleja flava</i> and <i>Potentilla concinna</i>. The plant association is known only from slopes adjoining Middle Park, Colorado. There is no field inventory information available at this time. Similar stands have been reported in Wyoming.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32723.CEGL001676 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
