Name: Northern & Central Great Plains Ruderal Grassland & Shrubland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance occurs in the northern two-thirds of the Great Plains. Sites are strongly dominated by exotic grasses and forbs, mostly perennial species but sometimes annuals. Examples range from having a mix of species to sites strongly dominated by one or two species. Abundant species vary across the group, depending on land-use history, including what may have been planted on the site, nearby seed sources, whether a site is mesic or dry, and other factors. Common abundant or dominant species include the grasses <i>Agropyron cristatum, Agrostis gigantea, Agrostis stolonifera, Bromus inermis, Lolium perenne, Phleum pratense, Poa annua, Poa pratensis</i>, and <i>Thinopyrum intermedium</i> and the forbs <i>Ambrosia</i> spp., <i>Cirsium arvense, Cirsium vulgare, Euphorbia esula</i>, and <i>Melilotus officinalis</i>.
