Name: Artemisia tripartita ssp. rupicola / Festuca idahoensis Shrub Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This type has been described from the eastern side of the Wind River Mountains in west-central Wyoming, the Shirley Mountains in central Wyoming, and the Laramie Mountains in southeastern Wyoming. Stands occur on windswept gentle slopes and broad ridgetops, with coarse-textured soils. The vegetation contains a graminoid component and a dwarf-shrub component, with smaller amounts of forbs and, sometimes, taller shrubs. The most common graminoids are <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> (which may dominate or be a secondary species), <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> (which often contributes the most cover), <i>Leucopoa kingii</i>, and <i>Poa</i> spp. (<i>Poa fendleriana, Poa cusickii, Poa secunda</i>). <i>Artemisia tripartita ssp. rupicola</i> is the dominant dwarf-shrub, and <i>Ericameria nauseosa</i> often is present. <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i> or <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis</i> may also be present in smaller amounts. Common forbs are <i>Antennaria microphylla, Phlox hoodii, Artemisia frigida</i>, and <i>Cerastium arvense</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30449-{AB3506E4-F56D-417B-B107-97E1D670B241} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
