Name: Artemisia tripartita ssp. tripartita / Bromus tectorum Ruderal Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Shrubs, primarily <i>Artemisia tripartita ssp. tripartita</i>, dominate the relatively open canopy of this vegetation type. The herbaceous understory ranges from sparse to moderate in terms of cover and is strongly dominated by <i>Bromus tectorum</i>. Total plant cover of this community is generally less than 25%. <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis</i> and <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> occur occasionally as scattered individuals in the shrub layer. The herbaceous stratum typically has low cover compared to the shrub overstory. Native grasses are sparse and variable, only <i>Poa secunda</i> occurs with regularity, albeit at low cover values. Species richness of the forb component of this plant community is generally low. Forbs have highly variable species composition that may include both native and non-native species, and the forbs that are present usually have very sparse cover. This association has the potential to occur anywhere the environmental conditions are appropriate for <i>Artemisia tripartita ssp. tripartita</i> to dominate a plant community. These communities may occur on flat to steeply sloping upland sites. Sites with little slope tend to have deeper soils while those with steeper slopes have shallow to moderately deep soils. Soil texture is loam, sandy loam, or clay loam, but is highly variable.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34239-{3DDAC90E-4197-4346-A67F-B333D13EC131} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
