Name: Pseudoroegneria spicata - Crepis acuminata Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> dominates or codominates this herbaceous association; <i>Poa secunda</i> is usually present with low to moderate cover, and <i>Crepis acuminata</i> is a characteristic forb, but it usually occurs with low cover. <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> may be absent or present with very low cover. <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> and <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> are the only shrub species that occur with regularity but tend to occur sporadically and contribute very little cover to the plant community. Sites suitable for this vegetation type may include ridges and slopes, alluvial fans, scree slopes, sloped rocky cliff faces, and bedrock outcrops of any aspect, although southerly and westerly aspects are most common in the northwestern part of the geographic range. This association can occur over a very broad elevational range. Stands grow on well-drained, often shallow, and frequently gravelly or rocky soils generally of loam, clay loam, silt loam, or sandy loam textural classes.
