Name: Hordeum jubatum Alkaline Wet Meadow Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alkaline grassland alliance contains stands dominated by <i>Hordeum jubatum</i>. Vegetation is dominated by short and medium-tall graminoids with a total cover of nearly 100%. Shrubs are often absent, and forbs are present but not usually abundant. Other common species include <i>Distichlis spicata, Elymus trachycaulus, Pascopyrum smithii, Poa arida, Poa compressa, Rumex crispus</i>, and <i>Sonchus arvensis</i>. <i>Hordeum jubatum</i> is a native increaser species that responds to disturbance, and with time since disturbance, sites will grade into other alkaline alliances. This alliance is found throughout the interior western U.S., including California's Central Valley, and Alberta, Canada. Stands are located in lowlands with moderately to strongly saline or alkaline soils. The topography is flat and the soils are often briefly flooded or saturated in the spring.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39142-{A9DD8D60-3873-413D-A367-A92B93989405} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
