Name: Festuca brachyphylla Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This high-elevation herbaceous association is found in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and possibly California. This description is based on information only from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This association is documented from a steep (32-degree), west-facing high colluvial slope at 3612 m elevation. The soil is moderately well-drained with a silt loam texture. Ground surface is generally covered in vegetation (40%) and rocks (40%). This moderately vegetated treeline stand is dominated by <i>Festuca brachyphylla</i> with 30% cover. Forb species such as <i>Minuartia obtusiloba, Eriogonum flavum</i>, and <i>Achillea millefolium</i> make up another 30% cover. <i>Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Dasiphora floribunda)</i> is present in trace amounts.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33723.CEGL001797 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
