Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Balsamorhiza sagittata - Poa secunda Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This grassland association is described from the foothills and canyon slopes of northeastern Oregon, western Idaho, northwestern Wyoming and possibly Washington. Stands occur on steep, southeast- to southwest-facing slopes on mid- to upper-slope positions of major ridge systems in, typically, highly dissected terrain. Elevations range from 400-1500 m (1300-4900 feet), with outliers to 2256 m (7400 feet). Soils are often gravelly with abundant cobbles and stones. The plant association is characterized by a relatively open, tall bunchgrass canopy dominated by <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>. <i>Poa secunda</i> is consistently present but typically is only common to well-represented. Annual bromes (<i>Bromus briziformis, Bromus japonicus</i>, and <i>Bromus tectorum</i>) and <i>Poa bulbosa</i> are often present and may occur with abundance in degraded stands. Associated herbaceous species include <i>Balsamorhiza sagittata, Lupinus</i> spp., <i>Crepis acuminata, Allium acuminatum, Achillea millefolium, Epilobium brachycarpum (= Epilobium paniculatum), Penstemon deustus</i>, and <i>Collomia grandiflora</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32755.CEGL001662 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
