Name: Antennaria lanata Alpine Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association occurs in the Cascade Range and Olympic Mountains in subalpine meadows or in the alpine zone. Sites are usually gentle slopes or flats that have relatively late snow-melt and receive above average moisture. Soils are well-drained and often rocky. The forb <i>Antennaria lanata</i> dominates this short, often open vegetation, usually with more cover than all other species. Dwarf-shrubs, e.g., <i>Salix cascadensis</i> or <i>Phyllodoce empetriformis</i>, can be present but subordinate in importance. <i>Carex nigricans, Carex spectabilis, Polygonum bistortoides, Oreostemma alpigenum, Hieracium gracile</i>, or <i>Juncus parryi</i> are often present. Although floristic diversity tends to be low, moss/lichen cover can be high.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30858-{7F804E09-B9E7-4322-8F64-C128403C47FD} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
