Name: Suaeda calceoliformis Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is only known from the San Luis Valley of Colorado, but likely is more widespread throughout the range of the dominant species. This association occurs on basin floor sabkhas at 2300 m elevation. Sites can be temporarily, intermittently, or seasonally flooded with bare dry, cracked soils in the dry season. Soils range from poorly drained silty clay or sandy clay, to somewhat poorly drained silt, or well-drained silt loam. Bare soil is the dominant nonvegetative ground cover ranging from 70-95%. Vegetation is characterized by a sparse to moderately dense herbaceous layer dominated by <i>Suaeda calceoliformis</i> with 20-40% cover. Total cover may by up to 60% and may include scattered short shrubs of <i>Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i>. <i>Distichlis spicata</i> is also present in all sampled stands with up to 20% cover. Other species present include <i>Bassia americana, Bolboschoenus maritimus, Cleome multicaulis</i>, and <i>Chenopodium foliosum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34177-{DB3704D6-A4A5-4853-9D32-CF348437FF56} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
