Name: Atriplex hymenelytra - Ambrosia dumosa Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This upland scrub association occurs in the Mojave Desert and Great Basin in California and Nevada. <i>Atriplex hymenelytra</i> and <i>Ambrosia dumosa</i> are codominant and characteristic species in the sparse to open shrub layer (4-21% cover) with <i>Larrea tridentata</i> often present. Scattered herbaceous species may be present. Stands are found commonly along gravelly bajadas and slopes at low to middle elevations (300-1300 m). Sites occur on gentle to very steep slopes (3 to 49°) on all aspects. Soils are typically coarser-textured such as sand and loam, but range to clay loam and silty clay and are derived from sedimentary substrates, alluvium, and less commonly rhyolite.
