Name: Artemisia cana ssp. cana Wet Shrubland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is found in the northern Great Plains along streams and intermittent watercourses and sometimes in upland settings. There is a sparse to dense short-shrub layer 0.5-1 m tall dominated by <i>Artemisia cana ssp. cana</i>. <i>Artemisia tridentata, Ericameria</i> spp., and <i>Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i> may be present to codominant. Medium-tall grasses dominate the sparse to moderate herbaceous layer including <i>Calamovilfa longifolia, Hesperostipa comata, Cryptantha</i> spp., <i>Eriogonum</i> spp., <i>Bouteloua gracilis, Pascopyrum smithii, Andropogon hallii, Pascopyrum smithii, Nassella viridula</i>, and <i>Poa pratensis</i>. Stands are found on sites that receive run-off from higher landscape positions, i.e., ravines, stream valleys, and other intermittent or perennial watercourses and some are flooded periodically. Soils are often fine-textured but some stands occur on sandy sites.
