Name: Leucopoa kingii - Phlox pulvinata Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This plant association occurs on broad, gentle, low-alpine ridges of east-central Idaho and similar high-subalpine sites in northwestern Wyoming. The association occurs on gentle to moderately steep, convex ridgetops oriented to any aspect. Sites are often on windward exposures at 2990-3140 m (9800-10,300 feet) elevation. Moderately deep, moderately unstable, very gravelly soils are derived from limestone, siliceous volcanic rocks, and quartzite. <i>Leucopoa kingii</i> is the dominant species in this open, low-growing bunchgrass vegetation. Associated species include <i>Carex elynoides, Minuartia obtusiloba, Phlox pulvinata, Lupinus argenteus, Poa secunda</i>, and <i>Agoseris glauca</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30822-{0B4008FB-4502-4900-9A03-EC79292B4AD5} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
