Name: Artemisia cana (ssp. bolanderi, ssp. viscidula) / Poa fendleriana ssp. fendleriana Shrub Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community occurs on broad, low-gradient floodplains at moderate to high elevations where it occurs on dry terraces and inactive floodplains and on the dry margins of mid-elevation meadows. Elevations range from 1340 to 1710 m (4400-5600 feet) and as high as 2135 m (7000 feet) in the Warner Mountains. Soils are deep, easily eroded alluvium with surface textures of fine sandy to silty clay loams. Available water-holding capacity is moderately high. Water tables are within 60 cm (2 feet) of the soil surface in May and June, dropping to 1.2-1.7 m (4-5.5 feet) below the soil surface in July through September. <i>Artemisia cana</i> is the dominant shrub. <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> (usually <i>ssp. vaseyana</i> but occasionally <i>ssp. tridentata</i>) is also common in some sites. <i>Poa fendleriana</i> is the dominant herbaceous species. Other common herbaceous species include <i>Koeleria macrantha, Elymus trachycaulus, Muhlenbergia richardsonis, Achnatherum occidentale ssp. occidentale, Carex praegracilis, Achillea millefolium, Symphyotrichum campestre var. bloomeri</i>, and <i>Cirsium foliosum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30460-{03A2D9D7-CBBE-43D2-B4D6-7397E3B92E99} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
