Name: Grayia spinosa / Poa secunda Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This community occurs in the driest and hottest part of central Washington. It is an open shrubland community with a sparse and species poor herbaceous layer. <i>Grayia spinosa</i> is often the only shrub although it can be codominant with <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> on disturbed and transitional sites. <i>Poa secunda</i> is the dominant grass (20-40% cover typically) and frequently is the only perennial grass. Forb diversity is low. Least disturbed sites have a soil moss and lichen crust and few annuals. Disturbed sites have little or no moss/lichen cover and an abundance of exotic annuals such as <i>Bromus tectorum</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33804.CEGL001351 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
