Name: Rhus glabra / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrub Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs on foot and toeslopes between 435-900 m elevation in southeastern Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Stands are found on southeast- and southwest-facing slopes. This type is most common on talus slopes between 10-75%. The climate is very dry and continental, with hot summers and mild winters. <i>Rhus glabra</i> is the sole to dominant shrub, averaging 35% cover. In late successional stands the <i>Rhus glabra</i> tends to occur as patches with grasses growing in the openings. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> is the dominant grass in all stands averaging 28% cover. <i>Bromus tectorum</i> is often present, though its cover seldom exceeds 4%. Other grasses and forbs add about an additional 10% to the cover of the herbaceous layer.
