Name: Grayia spinosa / Poa secunda Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community occurs in the driest and hottest part of central Washington. It is an open shrubland community with a sparse and species-poor herbaceous layer. <i>Grayia spinosa</i> is often the only shrub, although it can be codominant with <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> on disturbed and transitional sites. <i>Poa secunda</i> is the dominant grass (20-40% cover typically) and frequently is the only perennial grass. Forb diversity is low. Least disturbed sites have a soil moss and lichen crust and few annuals. Disturbed sites have little or no moss/lichen cover and an abundance of exotic annuals such as <i>Bromus tectorum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30260-{9BE7D0F7-7DD6-43F7-93E4-EF75FBF4B5C7} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
