Name: Atriplex hymenelytra - Tidestromia oblongifolia Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This sparse scrub association occurs at low elevations in the Mojave Desert and southern Great Basin in California and possibly Nevada. <i>Atriplex hymenelytra</i> and <i>Tidestromia oblongifolia</i> are dominant or codominant and characteristic species in the sparse to open shrub layer (0.6-9% cover). Other shrubs may be present, including <i>Ambrosia dumosa, Larrea tridentata</i>, and <i>Suaeda moquinii</i>. If present, the herbaceous layer is sparse, ranging from 0-5% cover, and mostly composed of annual herbs that respond to seasonal precipitation. Stands are commonly found on alluvial fans/bajadas, dune aprons, and steep colluvium at low elevation (-45 to 362 m). Sites occur on gentle to moderately steep slopes on all aspects. Sites are very hot and dry. Soils are typically coarser-textured such as sand and loam, and are derived from alluvial substrates and less commonly volcanic or sedimentary rock.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34414-{B3415BBE-7776-4354-86DC-5C7E38662879} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
