Name: Geum rossii - Selaginella densa Alpine Fell-field
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is an alpine turf vegetation type growing on windswept sites in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. Sites supporting this type are summits, ridges, and saddles between 3231 and 3505 m (10,600-11,500 feet) elevation, exposed to the prevailing winter winds. Rocks are common on the soil surface in the thick turf layer. Forbs and graminoids contribute roughly equal amounts of cover. <i>Geum rossii</i> contributes the most cover, and <i>Selaginella densa</i> is the secondary species; other species occurring in all stands and contributing substantial cover are <i>Antennaria alpina, Minuartia obtusiloba, Trisetum spicatum, Astragalus kentrophyta</i>, and <i>Carex saxatilis</i>.
