Name: Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana - Chamaebatiaria millefolium / Penstemon deustus Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: The vegetation of this association is characterized by low to moderate shrub cover. <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i> is dominant, but <i>Chamaebatiaria millefolium</i> and <i>Purshia tridentata</i> are always present. <i>Ericameria nana</i> may also be common but with very low cover. The sparse herbaceous layer has very few graminoids; those that are most common include <i>Poa secunda</i> and <i>Elymus elymoides</i>. Forbs are extremely sparse but <i>Penstemon deustus</i> is a characteristic species of this association. <i>Potentilla glandulosa</i> and <i>Pteryxia terebinthina</i> may also be present. This association, like all associations in ~Inter-Mountain Basins Volcanic Rock and Cinder Land (CES304.791)$$, is limited to barren and sparsely vegetated volcanic substrates of basalt and basaltic andesite origin, including tuffs, cinder cones, spatter cones, pressure plateaus, or cinder fields. It may occur in large-patch, small-patch or linear spatial patterns.
