Name: Achnatherum hymenoides - Psoralidium lanceolatum Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This herbaceous association ranges from Colorado and Utah north to Idaho and Montana and may also extend into Saskatchewan, Canada. This description is based on information from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado, and the following description is based on occurrences there. It is also reported from Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming and possibly Saskatchewan. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This association occurs on dunefields and sandsheets at 2320 to 2355 m elevation. Stands are generally flat to slightly rolling. Soils are rapidly drained sands, and ground cover is dominated by bare soil. The majority of stands are located near stabilized dunefields. This is a sparsely vegetated (&lt;30% total cover) community of active or stabilized dunes. <i>Achnatherum hymenoides</i> (10-30%) is dominant to codominant with <i>Psoralidium lanceolatum</i> (&lt;10%). The few other species present may include scattered <i>Ericameria nauseosa</i> shrubs and trace amounts of graminoids and forbs such as <i>Hesperostipa comata, Redfieldia flexuosa, Sporobolus</i> spp., <i>Helianthus</i> spp. <i>Salsola</i> spp., and <i>Lygodesmia juncea</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30559-{82C51B5C-3C31-4357-88AE-77408DEBC438} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
