Name: Sporobolus cryptandrus - Poa secunda Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This plant association is described for the Columbia Basin and lower Snake River, where it occurs on gentle, lower slope and river terrace positions in the valleys of the Snake and Clearwater rivers. Stands are dominated by <i>Sporobolus cryptandrus</i>. <i>Poa secunda</i> is common but varies in abundance. <i>Aristida purpurea var. longiseta</i> and <i>Hesperostipa comata</i> are frequently present in low abundance; <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> may also be present. Forb cover is typically low. <i>Astragalus inflexus, Calochortus macrocarpus</i>, and <i>Heterotheca villosa</i> are often present. <i>Bromus tectorum</i> (and several other exotic species) was present in nearly all the sampled stands. Early-seral, disturbed stands of ~<i>Pseudoroegneria spicata - Poa secunda</i> Grassland (CEGL001677)$$ might be mistaken for this association.
