Name: Artemisia tridentata - (Ericameria nauseosa) / Bromus tectorum Ruderal Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is common throughout the Colorado Plateau and likely occurs on disturbed sites throughout the range of basin big sagebrush in the western U.S. Stands occur in small to moderate-sized patches on alluvial terraces, floodplains, and point bars, mostly below 2000 m (6560 feet) elevation. <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentata</i> shrubs are always present, often with a lesser component of <i>Ericameria nauseosa, Atriplex canescens</i>, or <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i>. <i>Bromus tectorum</i> dominates the occasionally sparse herbaceous layer, frequently accompanied by other weedy exotic or annual grasses and forbs. Individuals or small patches of native grasses and forbs may occur, including <i>Leymus cinereus, Achnatherum hymenoides</i>, and <i>Sporobolus cryptandrus</i>.
