Name: Sarcobatus vermiculatus / Eriogonum pauciflorum - Gutierrezia sarothrae Badlands Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This group includes badlands vegetation in the Northern Great Plains of the United States and Canada. Examples are found on slopes of easily erodible clay and poorly consolidated shale interspersed with sandstone, lignite lenses, and occasional scoria outcrops. Vegetation cover is typically sparse but can be moderate in small areas with shallower slopes. The dominant vegetation is a mix of shrubs, forbs and grasses with each dominating some areas. There is typically zonation of vegetation from the top of a slope to the bottom with different groups of species most common in certain zones. Typical species found in Great Plains badlands are <i>Sarcobatus vermiculatus, Atriplex</i> spp., <i>Artemisia longifolia, Artemisia tridentata, Gutierrezia sarothrae, Eriogonum pauciflorum</i>, and <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>.
