Name: Western North American Interior Ruderal Grassland & Shrubland Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This montane, mesic to subhygric herbaceous group has low overall species diversity due to the dominance of <i>Elymus repens</i>, an exotic rhizomatous grass. <i>Elymus repens</i> is a highly invasive species in mesic areas and tends to exclude other species once established. Overall herbaceous cover ranges from 25-85% with <i>Elymus repens</i> clearly dominating with 5-80% cover. This group occurs in western Colorado, northwestern Montana, and southern Idaho. Sites include disturbed valley bottoms, alluvial flats, fans and lower valley wall sites between 1450 and 2300 m in elevation.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40282-{C2A96D66-82FD-489E-8450-9D424B52463F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
