Name: Juniperus communis / Danthonia spicata - Deschampsia cespitosa Northern Alkaline Rocky Outcrop Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This group occurs in southern Canada from Manitoba east and is characterized by sparse vascular vegetation, often occurring as patches. Low shrubs (&lt;0.5 m) or scrubby trees can be present along with grasses and forbs and the cover of all combined is generally 2-25%. Mosses and lichens often have high cover.
