Name: Sarcobatus vermiculatus / Ericameria nauseosa Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This greasewood shrubland association is found throughout Nevada and in southern Colorado. This description is based on information from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This common shrubland association is found primarily on sandsheets, but also on valley floors, sabkhas, valley floors, and toeslopes. Elevation ranges from 2295 to 2355 m. Bare soil is the dominant ground surface cover ranging from 50-96%. There is significant evidence of heavy grazing on herbaceous species in every surveyed stand. <i>Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i> and <i>Ericameria nauseosa</i> form an open to moderately dense short-shrub layer (0.5-1 m) with almost no understory. Other commonly occurring short-shrub species include <i>Chrysothamnus greenei</i> and <i>Atriplex canescens</i>. The sparse (&lt;10% total cover) herbaceous layer may include a variety of graminoids such as <i>Achnatherum hymenoides, Distichlis spicata, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Spartina gracilis</i>, and <i>Sporobolus airoides</i>, as well as <i>Opuntia polyacantha</i> and <i>Psoralidium lanceolatum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30271-{871F337C-4412-49A9-9D2E-1CE7452EAF51} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
