Name: Mahonia fremontii Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This unusual shrubland is rare and is only known from Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah. Total vegetation cover is 24%. <i>Mahonia fremontii</i> shrubs form an open canopy with 10% cover. Associated shrubs include <i>Ericameria nauseosa, Ephedra viridis, Atriplex canescens</i>, and <i>Gutierrezia sarothrae</i>. Herbaceous species contribute low cover and may include <i>Sporobolus airoides, Pleuraphis jamesii, Achnatherum hymenoides, Bromus tectorum, Artemisia ludoviciana</i>, and <i>Comandra umbellata</i>. Biological soil crust cover is moderate to high (to 51%). Stands occur on washbanks or terraces 2 to 3 m above the channel. The slope of the sampled stand is moderate, oriented to the south and lies at 1575 m elevation. Exposed soil covers most of the unvegetated surface, with low cover by litter. A well-developed biological soil crust community covers more than half the sampled plot. The soil is a rapidly drained silt loam derived from alluvium rich in shale.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32816-{3029864B-BDEE-45BC-AF64-01FF827C5167} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
