Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longicaulis / Bromus tectorum Ruderal Shrubland | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longicaulis / Bromus tectorum Ruderal Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shrubland association is a severely degraded form of potentially several associations within the alliance. It is characterized by a shrub layer dominated by <i>Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longicaulis</i> and a graminoid layer completely converted to <i>Bromus tectorum</i>, such that the perennial grasses that may once have dominated the graminoid layer can no longer be determined from what little remains (in some cases the perennial grass may be determined by modeling). This shrubland has been observed covering large areas of alluvial fans coming out of the Virginia Range on the east side of Reno, Nevada. Even in the degraded shrubland where this has been observed, mosses have substantial ground cover under and immediately surrounding many of the shrubs.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31887-{735AA8C1-3FC3-4170-85E8-28A5BD199835} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
