Name: Artemisia cana Wet Shrubland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is an alliance of shrublands dominated by <i>Artemisia cana ssp. viscidula</i> or <i>Artemisia cana ssp. bolanderi</i> where the shrub layer ranges from 0.5-1.5 m tall and the canopy cover ranges from 10-60%. In most stands, <i>Artemisia cana ssp. viscidula</i> or <i>Artemisia cana ssp. bolanderi</i> is the only dominant shrub, although other shrubs can be present. Herbaceous cover can be abundant to very sparse, but perennial graminoids generally total less than 20% cover. Species include <i>Danthonia intermedia, Deschampsia cespitosa, Eleocharis palustris, Elymus elymoides, Festuca idahoensis, Festuca ovina, Festuca thurberi, Leymus cinereus, Muhlenbergia richardsonis, Poa cusickii</i>, and <i>Poa secunda</i>. It occurs in relatively moist environments, including riparian areas, alkaline or saline playa lakes. This alliance occurs throughout the northern half of the Intermountain West.
