Name: Artemisia cana (ssp. bolanderi, ssp. viscidula) / Poa secunda Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: <i>Artemisia cana</i> is usually the only shrub, but <i>Ericameria nauseosa</i> occasionally occurs. <i>Poa secunda</i> is the most common herbaceous species. Other common understory species include <i>Lupinus argenteus, Elymus elymoides, Trifolium gymnocarpon, Astragalus lentiginosus, Eleocharis macrostachya, Distichlis spicata, Polyctenium fremontii</i>, and <i>Camissonia tanacetifolia</i>. This association is found in northern Great Basin playas in sites that are flooded for several months during the winter and early spring but which rapidly dry up as the weather warms. Soils are saline. In more saline soils at slightly lower elevations on the playa, <i>Artemisia cana / Eleocharis macrostachya</i> and <i>Eleocharis macrostachya</i> associations occur. These sites remain flooded for a longer period of time than the <i>Artemisia cana / Poa secunda</i> sites. Playa centers are often the monotypic <i>Camissonia tanacetifolia</i> association, which remains flooded for longer than the other associations and have more saline soils. At higher elevations, <i>Artemisia cana</i> playas usually find <i>Poa fendleriana</i> replacing <i>Poa secunda</i> as the dominant grass.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30457-{27A7E021-AD49-4430-AA3D-77E1A6C79D92} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
