Name: Carex vernacula - Poa fendleriana Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is reported from a single drainage in the western Great Basin of northern Nevada. It occupies low spots with gentle slopes within a sagebrush steppe community matrix. It has a high cover of vegetation (86%). Soils are fine-textured, well-developed, and seasonally wet (mottling). This herbaceous community is dominated by the graminoids <i>Carex vernacula</i> and <i>Poa fendleriana</i>. Because most stands have been heavily grazed, forbs such as <i>Monolepis nuttalliana, Phlox</i>, and <i>Potentilla arguta</i> may contribute significantly to the total cover. Shrubs are absent.
