Name: Artemisia pedatifida / Pascopyrum smithii Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This vegetation type has been reported from the Cheyenne River Basin in east-central Wyoming and basins in south-central Wyoming. It occurs on broad ridgetops, gentle slopes, and level (or slightly concave) sites with soils of clay to loam texture. Soils often have a dense subsurface horizon that impedes percolation of water. The low vegetation is composed mainly of dwarf-shrubs and grasses. The dwarf-shrub component consists of <i>Artemisia pedatifida</i> and, often, <i>Krascheninnikovia lanata</i> and small shrubs of <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis</i>. <i>Pascopyrum smithii</i> dominates the herbaceous component or codominates with <i>Koeleria macrantha</i> or <i>Achnatherum hymenoides</i>. <i>Hesperostipa comata, Elymus elymoides, Poa secunda</i>, and <i>Phlox hoodii</i> often are present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34527.CEGL001451 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
