Name: Artemisia longifolia Badlands Sparse Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This longleaf wormwood sparse vegetation type is found in the badlands regions of the northern Great Plains of the United States. Stands are found on sparsely vegetated, eroding slopes or flat clay ridges. Some slopes may be acidic, others more alkaline. Soils are poorly consolidated clays and silts. Stands may be particularly common on bentonite clay bands found on the ridges and slopes of the badlands. The vegetation is sparse, often much less than 10% cover, and species richness is very low. Short shrubs are the most conspicuous. <i>Artemisia longifolia</i> is the most frequent, or it may be associated with <i>Atriplex nuttallii, Eriogonum pauciflorum</i>, or <i>Gutierrezia sarothrae</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.37106.CEGL002195 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
