Name: Leucopoa kingii - Carex elynoides - Phlox pulvinata Central Rocky Mountain Subalpine-Alpine Grassland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Vegetation of this grassland alliance is dominated by diagnostic graminoid species <i>Leucopoa kingii</i> with <i>Carex elynoides, Oxytropis campestris, Phlox pulvinata</i>, or <i>Poa fendleriana ssp. fendleriana</i> present to codominant. Other associated species include <i>Agoseris glauca, Cymopterus nivalis, Erigeron compositus, Lupinus argenteus, Minuartia obtusiloba, Oxytropis sericea, Poa secunda</i>, and <i>Potentilla ovina</i>. This alliance occurs on broad, gentle alpine slopes and ridges of the Challis Volcanics and Beaverhead Mountains in east-central Idaho and similar high subalpine sites in northwestern Wyoming. Stands occur on gentle to moderately steep, convex, southwest- to north-facing ridgetops. Sites are often on windward exposures at 2990-3170 m (9800-10,400 feet) elevation. Soils are shallow to moderately deep gravelly soils derived from limestone, siliceous volcanic rocks, and quartzite.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38205-{D4AFBFCB-8757-4814-BFF0-26F86C9737F9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
