Name: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longiloba / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrub Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alkali sagebrush / bluebunch wheatgrass shrub herbaceous vegetation is known from Fossil Butte National Monument and Gros Ventre Range in western Wyoming and south into North Park, Colorado. Stands occur on flats, buttes and ridges. The sites are flat to steep (up to 21° slopes) and occur between 2100 and 2440 m (7000-8000 feet) elevation. The unvegetated surface has low to moderate exposure of bare soil, moderate cover of small rocks, and low cover of large rocks, litter, and downed wood. Soils are well-drained to poorly drained (clay pan) and fine-textured. Vegetation is characterized by a sparse to open shrub canopy dominated by <i>Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longiloba</i> with the understory dominated by <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> with up to 15% cover. Associated shrubs include low cover of <i>Atriplex confertifolia, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Krascheninnikovia lanata, Eriogonum microthecum, Artemisia frigida</i>, and <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i>. The remaining herbaceous layer is moderately diverse and contributes sparse to low cover. Common species include <i>Achillea millefolium, Astragalus jejunus, Crepis intermedia, Elymus elymoides, Eriogonum</i> spp., <i>Phlox hoodii, Poa secunda</i>, and <i>Stenotus acaulis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30325-{B3369AF9-8F14-4592-B60A-4D65963B6863} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
