Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This upland vegetation type has been described from the Cheyenne River Basin in northeastern Wyoming and has been reported from the Powder River Basin in north-central Wyoming and from the Ferris Mountains and Seminoe Mountains areas in central Wyoming. In all of these areas, it occupies stabilized sand dunes. <i>Artemisia cana ssp. cana</i> forms an open shrub layer to about 50 cm tall, which often contains <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> and <i>Ericameria</i> spp. (= <i>Chrysothamnus</i> spp.) as well. Common herbaceous species are <i>Calamovilfa longifolia, Hesperostipa comata, Cryptantha</i> spp., and <i>Eriogonum</i> spp., and other plants (especially <i>Bouteloua gracilis, Pascopyrum smithii</i>, and <i>Andropogon hallii</i>) may be conspicuous and contribute substantial cover. <i>Bromus tectorum</i> and other exotics may be common.
