Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Festuca idahoensis Palouse Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This perennial bunchgrass association grows between 1580-1935 m elevation in the Palouse Prairie of southeastern Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Stands occur on ridgetops or on flat to concave surfaces on the middle or upper third of the slope. Slopes range from 0%-110%, and stands can be found on all aspects. Temperatures are very warm during the growing season and precipitation is low. Soils are moderate to deep, permitting the establishment of <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> and <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>. These codominants combine for approximately 40% cover. <i>Poa secunda</i> is also usually present with a mean cover of 12%. On gentle slopes the cover of <i>Poa secunda</i> increases to about 18%. Forbs are many and varied including <i>Achillea millefolium var. occidentalis, Eriogonum heracleoides</i>, and <i>Lomatium</i> sp.
