Name: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. arbuscula / Festuca idahoensis Shrub Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dwarf sagebrush shrub herbaceous association occurs from 1525 to 2775 m (5000-9100 feet) elevation. It occurs on dry, exposed moderate slopes, on undulating to rolling topography, lower mountain toeslopes, inaccessible ridges, and on very steep canyon talus slopes. Soils are shallow or moderately deep, from well- to moderately well-developed. <i>Artemisia arbuscula</i> is the characteristic and predominant low shrub, although it can be obscured by the grass cover. Cover of the low shrub is scattered and open (8-30%). <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> is the dominant understory grass (3-36% cover), with <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> usually present, but can often be absent (0-25%). <i>Koeleria macrantha, Poa secunda, Achnatherum thurberianum</i>, and <i>Elymus elymoides</i> are typical co-occurring grasses. Common forbs include <i>Phlox hoodii, Phlox longifolia, Antennaria rosea, Crepis acuminata, Senecio integerrimus, Balsamorhiza</i> ssp., <i>Eriogonum</i> spp., and <i>Erigeron compositus</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30318-{316BF9D9-E599-47C1-97E8-C1F0082C2AC2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
