Name: Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Total vegetation cover in this association is generally low to moderate and is characterized by an open shrub canopy of <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i>. Other short shrubs may provide sparse cover. The native bunchgrass <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> dominates the understory, but cover values are typically low. Graminoids in this community are often diverse in terms of species composition but sparse in terms of cover. Forbs are also very diverse but contribute very little total cover. Introduced species such as <i>Bromus tectorum</i> may occur occasionally at low cover values within this vegetation type. This association generally occurs in areas that have experienced disturbance. <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i>-dominated communities often result from wildland fires in sagebrush steppe ecosystems. Slopes range from gentle to moderately steep. Soils are variable.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34344-{A0918B1B-920D-4D87-9C64-57614A59F416} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
