Name: Leucopoa kingii - Carex elynoides Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association occurs on broad, gentle alpine ridges of the Challis Volcanics and Beaverhead Mountains ecoregional sections in east-central Idaho. It occurs on gentle to moderately steep, convex, southwest- to north-facing ridgetops. Sites are on windward exposures at 3020-3170 m (9900-10,400 feet) elevation. Shallow to moderately deep gravelly soils are derived from limestone. <i>Leucopoa kingii (= Festuca kingii)</i> and <i>Carex elynoides</i> are codominant and form a dense, low-growing, fibrous-rooted turf. Associated species occur with low cover, but high constancy, including <i>Poa fendleriana, Poa secunda, Agoseris glauca, Potentilla ovina, Oxytropis sericea</i>, and <i>Erigeron compositus</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33157.CEGL001911 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
