Name: Carex hoodii - Festuca idahoensis Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This plant association occurs in eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho on high-elevation ridges of the Wallowa and Seven Devil mountains of the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. Sites range from gentle, broad, dissected plateau ridgetops to steep mountain sideslopes at 1830-2410 m (6000-7900 feet) elevation. Soils are moderately deep to deep silt loam. Stands are typically dense with high and diverse cover of sedges, grasses, and perennial forbs. Abundant <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> and <i>Danthonia intermedia</i> occur with a variety of different sedge and grass species, including <i>Carex hoodii, Carex geyeri, Achnatherum occidentale</i>, and <i>Koeleria macrantha</i>. Commonly associated forbs are <i>Lupinus argenteus var. laxiflorus, Geum triflorum, Hieracium scouleri var. albertinum, Antennaria rosea, Arenaria congesta</i>, and <i>Symphyotrichum foliaceum</i>. This association should not be mistaken as ~<i>Festuca idahoensis - Carex hoodii</i> Grassland (CEGL001609)$$, which is abundant in the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. <i>Carex hoodii - Festuca idahoensis</i> is distinguished from <i>Festuca idahoensis - Carex hoodii</i> on the basis of the presence of <i>Danthonia intermedia, Arenaria congesta</i>, or <i>Antennaria rosea</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30504-{CCCB68FF-23BA-4468-8422-FFF48A94EFA9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
