click to update datacart
Name: Chamaebatiaria millefolium / Penstemon deustus Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The vegetation of this association is characterized by very sparse total cover (less than 5%). Shrub cover is primarily from <i>Chamaebatiaria millefolium</i>. Other component shrubs may include various subspecies of <i>Artemisia tridentata</i>. The minimal herbaceous layer has very few graminoids, but species that may occur include <i>Poa secunda</i> and <i>Hesperostipa comata</i>. Forbs cover is also low but <i>Penstemon deustus</i> is a characteristic species of this association. 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.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34243-{BAABEFBB-9CED-4233-97FE-0597E280841E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
