Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Poa fendleriana Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This plant association is typically found on bald, windswept ridgetops between 2440 and 3050 m (8000-10,000 feet) in elevation. Soils are shallow and gravelly, classifying as Lithic Cryoborolls. The vegetation in this community is very sparse. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata, Poa fendleriana</i>, and <i>Koeleria macrantha</i> are constant associates in this association. Shrubs are commonly absent, if they are present it is in very low numbers. Shrubs that may occur with very low cover include <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Ericameria nauseosa, Artemisia frigida</i>, and <i>Tetradymia canescens</i>. Forbs often associated with this community are <i>Castilleja flava</i> and <i>Potentilla concinna</i>. The plant association is known only from slopes adjoining Middle Park, Colorado. There is no field inventory information available at this time. Similar stands have been reported in Wyoming.
