Name: Lupinus latifolius Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This herbaceous association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Stands of this forb association occur in wet to moist meadow environments including small stream channels and seeps. Sites are mesic to temporarily saturated meadows. Elevations range from about 1890-2500 m (6200-8200 feet), and slopes are flat, gentle, or moderate and, when having an aspect, face southeast to west. Soils are somewhat poorly drained loam to moderately well-drained sandy loam. This perennial forb vegetation is characterized by dense cover (from 60-90%) of moisture-loving forbs and grasses, primarily <i>Lupinus latifolius</i>. Total vegetative cover is generally greater than 80%. <i>Lupinus latifolius</i> (10-67% cover) is the most common forb. Other forbs of greater than 50% constancy include <i>Heracleum maximum, Allium validum, Thalictrum fendleri, Trifolium monanthum, Poa pratensis, Danthonia intermedia, Carex leptopoda</i>, and <i>Poa fendleriana</i>. The forbs and graminoids present in trace amounts include an additional 30 species.
