Name: Salix glauca / Deschampsia cespitosa Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is currently only described from Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. One sampled stand of this association occurs on an east-facing toeslope at an elevation of 2945 m (9665 feet), and the other sampled stand occurs on a valley floor at an elevation of 3050 m (10,000 feet). Soil data are available for one stand; the soil is a well-drained gravelly loam. Small drainage rivulets involved with the spring melt occur in this stand and vicinity. This association is an upper montane to subalpine shrubland community that occurs on mesic sites. The short-shrub stratum includes <i>Salix glauca</i> (10 and 12% cover) and <i>Salix brachycarpa</i>, which occurs in one stand with 12% cover. <i>Salix arctica</i> occurs in one stand with 7% cover as a dwarf-shrub. Dominant graminoids include <i>Deschampsia cespitosa</i> (12 and 20% cover) in both stands and <i>Carex microptera</i> (7% cover) in one stand. Forbs that occur in both stands include <i>Caltha leptosepala</i> (12 and 30% cover), <i>Potentilla diversifolia</i> (1 and 3% cover), <i>Gentiana calycosa</i> (1% cover), and <i>Pedicularis groenlandica</i> (1% cover). Many other graminoids and forbs are present in just one stand with trace to 10% cover.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30046-{8776C796-4254-4300-BE59-954DA92DC80F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
