Name: Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis / Disturbed Understory Ruderal Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This sagebrush shrubland occurs in northern Arizona, eastern Utah, western Colorado, and southwestern Wyoming. This shrubland association has a moderately open to dense shrub layer with an herbaceous layer dominated by non-native invasive species. The dominant shrub is <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis</i> with low to moderate cover. Other shrubs that may be present include <i>Ericameria nauseosa, Ephedra viridis, Gutierrezia sarothrae, Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i>, and succulents such as <i>Opuntia</i> species. The herbaceous stratum is dominated by a suite of non-native species, such as <i>Bromus tectorum, Chenopodium album</i>, and <i>Erodium cicutarium</i>. No single species is consistently dominant, so any of these may be the most abundant, or many invasive species occur as a mix in the herbaceous layer. Stands occur on flat to moderately steep slopes, currently known from between 1455 and 2372 m (4770-7777 feet) in elevation, and are likely to occur throughout the range of <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis</i>. Soils are typically loamy sands to clay loams.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30992-{4AB28495-743F-4F8C-AAEC-65A3DF628904} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
