Name: Festuca idahoensis - Carex filifolia Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This montane grassland association occurs in the mountains of western Montana and north-central Wyoming. Stands are found infrequently on gentle terrain (5-20% slope) in or near mountain saddles or on alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 1280-2800 m (4200-9200 feet). Soils are rapidly drained and have coarse textures. The vegetation has a dense and diverse herbaceous layer codominated by medium-tall perennial graminoids and perennial forbs. The dominant species are <i>Festuca idahoensis, Carex filifolia, Danthonia intermedia, Geum triflorum, Gentiana affinis, Antennaria rosea</i>, and <i>Achillea millefolium</i>. The lack of <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata, Pascopyrum smithii</i>, or <i>Elymus caninus</i> as a codominant species makes this association distinct.
