Name: Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana - Symphoricarpos oreophilus / Bromus carinatus Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This sagebrush shrubland is described from the mountains of northeastern Nevada and eastern Idaho. It occurs on moderate to steep slopes (15-45%), on deep soils (110-162 cm), at elevations ranging from 1768 to 2499 m (5800-8200 feet). It is one of the most productive sagebrush types in northeastern Nevada, occupying higher elevations than those of other sagebrush types in the area. <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i> is the dominant sagebrush. <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i> is conspicuously present, usually with a canopy cover greater than 3%. <i>Amelanchier alnifolia</i> may also be present (0-5%) and can replace <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i> on some sites. Other shrubs include <i>Prunus virginiana, Purshia tridentata, Ribes</i> spp., and <i>Rosa woodsii</i>. <i>Bromus carinatus</i> is the dominant grass. <i>Festuca idahoensis, Elymus trachycaulus (= Agropyron trachycaulum)</i>, and <i>Leymus cinereus (= Elymus cinereus)</i> are conspicuously present and may replace <i>Bromus carinatus</i> in dominance on some sites. Forb species occur with the same abundance as grasses on most sites. Common forb species include <i>Balsamorhiza sagittata, Helianthella uniflora (= Helianthus uniflorus), Lupinus caudatus</i>, and <i>Eurybia conspicua</i>.
