Name: Yucca glauca / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrub Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is currently only described from Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Montana. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This uncommon type was sampled at four locations. Typically the sites occur on uplands with low to moderately steep slopes. Soils range from mesic to xeric, are well-drained, and have a clay loam texture. Small rocks and bare ground make up the biggest proportion of the unvegetated layer, with 33 and 38% cover, respectively. The dwarf-shrub layer is made up of three common species: <i>Yucca glauca, Gutierrezia sarothrae</i>, and <i>Artemisia frigida</i>. <i>Artemisia nova</i> may also be present with low cover (&lt;20%). Total cover for this layer ranges from 10-25%. The herbaceous layer (50-75%) is very diverse, but <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata, Carex filifolia</i>, and <i>Bouteloua gracilis</i> are more abundant than others.
