Name: Artemisia tripartita ssp. tripartita / Leymus cinereus Shrub Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This description is based on occurrences at Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve in Idaho. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. Shrubs may be conspicuous in this plant community, but herbaceous species have equal or greater coverage. <i>Artemisia tripartita ssp. tripartita</i> is the dominant shrub species; other shrub species may be present to relatively common as well. The herbaceous stratum is typically dominated by graminoids of moderate to moderately high cover. <i>Leymus cinereus</i> is the most abundant herbaceous species in terms of cover and visual dominance. Other graminoids may also be present at lower cover values. Forbs form a major and highly variable component of this vegetation type. Stands occur on flat to sloping upland sites. Soil texture is loam, sandy loam, or clay loam, but is highly variable. This association is uncommon at Craters of the Moon. It is found in locations with better soil development such as kipukas or adjacent to volcanic flows.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31896-{20E6B5FE-1F60-4B45-B844-50FB1E2ECF71} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
