Name: Festuca idahoensis - Symphoricarpos albus Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This grassland association is found in southeastern Washington, and possibly occurs in Idaho and Oregon. Stands typically occur above 1300 m elevation on steep slopes where moisture is available well into summer drought because of cool aspect or subsurface seepage. Soils are generally derived from loess. Forested stringer communities are often in close proximity. <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> dominates the association, masking the low <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i>. Other bunchgrasses which occur may include <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata, Koeleria macrantha</i>, and <i>Poa secunda</i>. The bunchgrasses usually dominate 4:1 over the <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i>. Other associates may include <i>Bromus briziformis, Balsamorhiza sagittata, Lupinus sericeus, Lupinus</i> sp., <i>Achillea millefolium, Lithospermum ruderale</i>, and <i>Clarkia pulchella</i>.
