Name: Artemisia nova / Festuca idahoensis Shrub Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This shrub herbaceous association has been documented from only two drainages in Idaho, one in the southwest (Owyhee Uplands Section (342C), the other in the Little Lost River valley (Beaverhead Mountains Section, M332E), though it might be more extensive. There is no confirmation of this type occurring in Montana despite extensive searches within M332E. It is associated with limestone or dolomite-like parent materials that weather to shallow, well-drained and highly calcareous soils; information regarding its landscape setting and other abiotic param is lacking. <i>Artemisia nova</i> is the dominant shrub component and <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> is the dominant grass; <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> cover is sufficiently high to indicate a more mesic moisture regime and distinguishes this association from the much more common ~<i>Artemisia nova / Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> Shrubland (CEGL001424)$$.
