Description: This silverberry shrubland occurs in the northwestern portion of the Great Plains of the United States and Canada. The vegetation forms open thickets within the mixedgrass prairie landscape. <i>Elaeagnus commutata</i> is generally a short to medium height shrub, although it can grow up to 5 m. These thickets are often associated with <i>Rosa woodsii</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos occidentalis</i>. Other plants associated with this type include <i>Anemone multifida, Campanula rotundifolia, Elymus trachycaulus, Festuca altaica, Geum triflorum, Heuchera richardsonii, Pascopyrum smithii, Potentilla arguta</i>, and <i>Symphyotrichum laeve</i>. This shrubland occurs in relatively open stands. Stands occur on a variety of glacial landforms, including kames, eskers, and areas of till and outwash. They are common on north-facing slopes and sites where moisture is more abundant, including along river valley slopes.
