Name: Elymus lanceolatus - Hesperostipa comata Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is an open, sandy grassland on flat, Columbia River plains. The topography is composed of very low (0.5 m) dunes and open sand comprises almost 50% of the cover. <i>Elymus lanceolatus</i> is a rhizomatous grass which binds the sand and occurs throughout the site, providing 10-15% cover. The bunchgrass <i>Hesperostipa comata</i> occurs in areas that are marginally stabilized, but overall represents only about 1% cover. <i>Achnatherum hymenoides</i> and <i>Poa secunda</i> occur at very low cover throughout the stand, as do some forbs: <i>Astragalus sclerocarpus, Oenothera pallida, Achillea millefolium</i>, and <i>Phlox longifolia</i>. Non-native species include <i>Bromus tectorum, Centaurea diffusa, Sisymbrium altissimum</i>, and <i>Salsola kali</i>.
