Name: Eriogonum douglasii / Poa secunda Dwarf-shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This scabland association is characterized by cespitose, drought-resistant plants. Stands are documented from Hells Canyon in Oregon and Idaho, and south-central Washington. Sites are typically ridgetops and plateaus at elevations of 950-1525 m (3100-5000 feet), and occur on a variety of aspects with slopes less than 13%. Soils are typically silt loams or loams with 35% gravel that increases in size to boulders lower in the stratum. Bedrock is typically basalt. Vegetation cover is dominated by <i>Eriogonum douglasii</i> (6-40%), and <i>Poa secunda</i> (10-25%). Cover of other associated species include <i>Elymus elymoides ssp. elymoides</i> (0-3%), <i>Sedum</i> spp. (0-3%), <i>Lomatium cous</i> (0-5%), <i>Viola trinervata</i> (0-7%) and <i>Arabis holboellii</i> (0-3%). There is typically 15-40% cover of surface rock (gravel).
