Name: Eriogonum douglasii / Poa secunda Dwarf-shrub Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This scabland association is characterized by cespitose, drought-resistant plants. Stands are documented from Hells Canyon in Oregon and Idaho, and south-central Washington. Sites are typically ridgetops and plateaus at elevations of 950-1525 m (3100-5000 feet), and occur on a variety of aspects with slopes less than 13%. Soils are typically silt loams or loams with gravel that increases in size to boulders lower in the stratum. Bedrock is typically basalt. Vegetation cover is dominated by <i>Eriogonum douglasii</i> and <i>Poa secunda</i>. Other associated species include <i>Elymus elymoides ssp. elymoides, Sedum</i> spp., <i>Lomatium cous, Viola trinervata</i>, and <i>Arabis holboellii</i>. There is typically 15-40% cover of surface rock (gravel).
