Name: Geum rossii - Selaginella densa Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This is an alpine turf vegetation type growing on windswept sites in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. Sites supporting this type are summits, ridges, and saddles between 3231 and 3505 m (10,600-11,500 feet) elevation, exposed to the prevailing winter winds. Rocks are common on the soil surface in the thick turf layer. Forbs and graminoids contribute roughly equal amounts of cover. <i>Geum rossii</i> contributes the most cover, and <i>Selaginella densa</i> is the secondary species; other species occurring in all stands and contributing substantial cover are <i>Antennaria alpina, Minuartia obtusiloba (= Arenaria obtusiloba), Trisetum spicatum, Astragalus kentrophyta</i>, and <i>Carex saxatilis</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33841.CEGL001968 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
