Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This sagebrush shrubland association is only known from the vicinity of Yosemite National Park, California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Stands of this association occur between 2410 and 2620 m (7900-8600 feet) elevation on gentle lower slopes or basin floors. Sites are seasonally or temporarily flooded. Soils are silty loams. <i>Artemisia cana ssp. bolanderi</i> dominates this association, forming an open canopy less than 0.5 m in height. The herbaceous understory is dominated by <i>Iris missouriensis</i> with the graminoid <i>Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis</i> an important component. Total herbaceous cover is quite high and roughly split between forbs and graminoids. Other forbs usually occur at low cover values and may include <i>Achillea millefolium, Arnica longifolia, Arnica parryi, Gayophytum diffusum, Navarretia breweri</i>, and/or <i>Potentilla glandulosa</i>. The graminoid species that may be present include <i>Poa pratensis, Poa secunda, Carex praegracilis, Achnatherum lemmonii, Leymus triticoides, Elymus trachycaulus</i>, and/or <i>Agrostis variabilis</i>.
