Name: Rhus trilobata / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrub Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This shrub grassland is found in the United States on dry mid to upper slopes and ridgetops in the eastern plains and mountains of Wyoming and Montana. Slope and aspect are variable, but soils are consistently shallow and rocky. Herbaceous species dominate the vegetation with short shrubs and nonvascular plants present but of lesser importance. Total vegetation cover is moderate, and few plants grow taller than 1 m. Shrubs generally have from 10-25% cover. <i>Rhus trilobata</i> is the most common. It is often found with <i>Artemisia frigida, Artemisia tridentata, Prunus virginiana, Ribes cereum</i>, or <i>Eriogonum</i> spp. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> is the most abundant herbaceous species. Others commonly found include <i>Koeleria macrantha, Schizachyrium scoparium, Bouteloua curtipendula, Bromus tectorum</i>, and <i>Opuntia polyacantha</i>.
