Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This low, dwarf-shrub vegetation type grows on flats and slopes in the basins of west-central and northwestern Colorado, and south-central Wyoming. In west-central Colorado (Mesa County), stands of this type grow on north-facing shale slopes with clay soils. In northwestern Colorado (Moffat County), it occurs on flat to gently sloping sites with clay soils from 1890 to 2135 m (6200-7000 feet) elevation. The vegetation is mainly bunchgrass with scattered low shrubs. <i>Leymus salinus</i> dominates the herbaceous component, and <i>Atriplex gardneri</i> is the main shrub species.
