Name: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. arbuscula / Leymus salinus ssp. salmonis Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: The plant association is reported from the southern end of the Lemhi Range, Idaho, within the Beaverhead Mountains ecoregional section. The plant association occurs within a region of cool, arid climatic conditions. The average annual precipitation is 25.4-30.5 cm (10-12 inches). The association occurs in lower slope positions, on relatively steep, northwest-facing slopes, at 1585 to 8130 m (5200-6000 feet) elevation, on limestone parent materials. Soils are poorly developed, thin and rocky. Little information is available regarding the structure and composition of this association. The dwarf-shrub vegetation is dominated by <i>Artemisia arbuscula</i>. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> and <i>Leymus salinus ssp. salmonis</i> are codominant in the herbaceous layer and usually abundant, often exceeding 50% cover. No additional information is available on the species composition of the dwarf-shrub plant association.
