Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Opuntia polyacantha - (Poa secunda) Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This plant association is described from sites within the Hells Canyon region of the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. The association occurs on the harshest sites occupied by <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>-dominated plant communities. These are moderately steep to steep, south-southeast- to south-southwest-facing, mid to upper slopes. Stands may occur as low as 245 m (800 feet) elevation but are more typical at 550-1130 m (1800-3700 feet) elevation. Stands are typically open, with well-spaced <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> bunches. <i>Opuntia polyacantha, Erigeron pumilus</i>, and <i>Scutellaria angustifolia</i> are principal forb species. Exotics <i>Bromus tectorum</i> and <i>Bromus arvensis</i> are often present.
