Name: Carex hoodii - Festuca idahoensis Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This plant association occurs in eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho on high-elevation ridges of the Wallowa and Seven Devil mountains of the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. Sites range from gentle, broad, dissected plateau ridgetops to steep mountain sideslopes at 1830-2410 m (6000-7900 feet) elevation. Soils are moderately deep to deep silt loam. Stands are typically dense with high and diverse cover of sedges, grasses, and perennial forbs. Abundant <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> and <i>Danthonia intermedia</i> occur with a variety of different sedge and grass species, including <i>Carex hoodii, Carex geyeri, Achnatherum occidentale (= Stipa occidentalis)</i>, and <i>Koeleria macrantha</i>. Commonly associated forbs are <i>Lupinus argenteus var. laxiflorus (= Lupinus laxiflorus), Geum triflorum, Hieracium cynoglossoides (= Hieracium albertinum), Antennaria rosea, Arenaria congesta</i>, and <i>Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus)</i>. This association should not be mistaken as ~<i>Festuca idahoensis - Carex hoodii</i> Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL001609)$$, which is abundant in the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. <i>Carex hoodii - Festuca idahoensis</i> is distinguished from <i>Festuca idahoensis - Carex hoodii</i> on the basis of the presence of <i>Danthonia intermedia, Arenaria congesta</i>, or <i>Antennaria rosea</i>.
