Name: Geum rossii - Carex albonigra Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association has been described as a minor vegetation type in the alpine zone on the western side of the Wind River Mountains in west-central Wyoming. It occurs on slopes of various aspects, in positions protected from the full force of the wind, often next to ~<i>Deschampsia caespitosa - Geum rossii</i> Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL001884)$$. Forbs account for most of the canopy cover in the vegetation, with <i>Geum rossii var. turbinatum</i>, <i>Antennaria media</i>, and <i>Potentilla diversifolia</i> the common species. <i>Carex albonigra</i> is the most common graminoid, and <i>Festuca brachyphylla</i> and <i>Carex saxatilis</i> may contribute substantially to the graminoid component. <i>Salix petrophila</i> and <i>Selaginella densa</i> may be common.
