Name: Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana - Symphoricarpos oreophilus / Hesperostipa comata Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This sagebrush shrubland is known only from Grand Teton National Park but is expected to occur in the surrounding area in southeastern Idaho and elsewhere in Wyoming. One stand occurs on the valley floor, with a 4% slope at an elevation of 2060 m (6749 feet), on a dry southeastern aspect. The soil is a loam with gravel and cobble. The shrub layer is dominated by <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>. Graminoids include <i>Hesperostipa comata</i> and <i>Poa pratensis</i>. The most abundant forb is <i>Balsamorhiza sagittata</i>. Other forbs present include <i>Eriogonum umbellatum, Lupinus sericeus, Geranium viscosissimum, Lithospermum ruderale</i>, and <i>Helianthella uniflora</i>. Similar vegetation types have been described in the literature with an <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> canopy and an undergrowth of <i>Hesperostipa comata</i>. However, these do not refer to <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i>, nor do they mention any <i>Symphoricarpos</i> spp. as present.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:29948-{4E170050-DEB5-4ADF-AE43-CBFEE2F530F6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
