Name: Artemisia tripartita ssp. tripartita / Pascopyrum smithii Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: <i>Artemisia tripartita ssp. tripartita</i> dominates the relatively open canopy of this vegetation type. The herbaceous understory is sparse to moderate in terms of cover and is dominated by <i>Pascopyrum smithii</i>. <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> commonly occurs in the shrub stratum. Additional native grass species are often present in the understory but cover is typically sparse and species composition is variable. <i>Achnatherum thurberianum, Poa secunda</i>, and <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> occur with some constancy, but at low cover values. Forbs have highly variable species composition and cover ranges from sparse to moderate. Stands occur on gently rolling uplands, swales or upper parts of stream terraces and drainageways. Drier examples may be found on more exposed slope positions or steeper slopes. Soils are moderately deep to deep clay, clay loam, silt loam or sandy loam. Soil moisture conditions are relatively mesic.
