Name: Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana - Symphoricarpos oreophilus / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This low-statured shrubland is dominated by a combination of <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>, sometimes one more dominant than the other, but both always present with at least 10% cover. Other shrubs that may be present include <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Ribes</i> spp., and <i>Purshia tridentata</i>. The understory is sparsely to occasionally thickly dominated by grasses. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> is always present and usually the most abundant grass with 2-10% cover. Other grasses commonly present include <i>Festuca idahoensis, Poa fendleriana, Achnatherum nelsonii ssp. dorei, Achnatherum lettermanii, Bromus tectorum</i>, and <i>Melica bulbosa</i>. Common forbs include <i>Lupinus caudatus, Achillea millefolium, Balsamorhiza sagittata, Collinsia parviflora</i>, and <i>Helianthella uniflora</i>. This low sagebrush association occurs from 1830 to 2750 m (6000-9000 feet) elevation, on slopes from 10-42%, often on northern aspects, in concave snowpockets in northern Nevada, and generally on southern exposures in eastern Idaho. Soils are deep Mollisols (average 117 cm), of fine loam texture with gravel fragment up to 30%.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:29947-{6C87933E-8FE2-4489-A211-4BA0BC1BC57E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
