Name: Western Boreal Alpine Cliff, Scree & Rock Vegetation Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This group occurs in Alaska and possibly western Canada on talus- and bedrock-dominated sites above the dwarf-shrub zone, and also on early-seral alpine sites near glaciers. Sites are well-drained to excessively drained, and there is little soil development. They are often rocky and sparsely vegetated with forbs and graminoids such as <i>Draba</i> spp., <i>Saxifraga</i> spp., <i>Oxyria digyna, Festuca brachyphylla, Carex pyrenaica ssp. micropoda</i>, and <i>Luzula</i> spp. Dwarf-shrubs are uncommon.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40359-{9CAB6E99-E98F-4FED-88B3-529A06625E2B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
