Name: Allenrolfea occidentalis Wet Shrubland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This herbaceous alliance consists of vegetation dominated by <i>Allenrolfea occidentalis</i>. Associated species include <i>Atriplex canescens, Atriplex gardneri, Distichlis spicata, Suaeda suffrutescens, Sporobolus airoides</i>, and/or <i>Sporobolus wrightii</i>. Stands occur in alkaline flats along the margins of salt lakes, in depressions among gypsum ridges, and along washes in saline overflow areas. In all cases, it occurs at sites that are seasonally moist or flooded and where evaporation concentrates transported salts, leaving visible mineral crusts at the soil surface. The nominal species can cover large acreages, with little else except barren soil. This alliance occurs throughout the arid intermountain western United States.
