Name: Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda / Carex spp. Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Stands in Wyoming occur on valley floors and shallow slopes at elevations ranging from 2103 to 2120 m (6900-7200 feet). One stand occurs in a semipermanently flooded area on silt loam soils. The other stands occur on moderately well- to well-drained clay loams. This association is a montane shrubland that occurs on both mesic and subxeric sites. <i>Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda</i> dominates the shrub canopy in the three stands that are on shallow slopes with 30 to 50% canopy cover. <i>Betula glandulosa</i> and <i>Vaccinium uliginosum</i> codominate with <i>Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda</i> in the palustrine stand, each composing 5% of the canopy cover. Herbaceous cover ranges from 60 to 80% and is dominated by various graminoids. <i>Carex</i> species are present in every stand with 1 to 20% cover. Two stands that have been grazed in the past have high quantities of <i>Poa pratensis</i> (40 and 60% cover) and <i>Phleum pratense</i> (10 and 20% cover). Information from other studies will be added later.
