Comm #11262	Leymus triticoides - Poa secunda Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.33115.CEGL001572	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This is an alkaline grassland described from the Warner Basin of Oregon, but seen in the Guano and Catlow valleys of south-central Oregon, from Inyo County, California, and almost certainly found elsewhere in the northern Basin and Range and likely occurs in Nevada. It is found in flat, alkaline wetlands, associated with playa lakes, or rarely seasonal streams. In Oregon, elevations range from 1220-1525 m (4000-5000 feet) in elevation. <i>Leymus triticoides</i> is the characteristic plant, with <i>Poa secunda (= Poa juncifolia</i> and sometimes still considered as <i>Poa secunda ssp. juncifolia</i>) usually codominant. In the more alkaline areas, <i>Distichlis spicata</i> or <i>Puccinellia</i> spp. can be found, although the most alkaline expressions should be considered a different association. These moist, playa grasslands are distinctive in the very high, predominately rhizomatous grass cover, with frequencies of <i>Leymus triticoides</i> averaging over 85%.
Comm #11263	Panicum obtusum - Helianthus ciliaris Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.33608.CEGL001574	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This association is an herbaceous wetland that occurs on flats, swales and seeps, or borders playa lakes at lower elevations ranging from 1500 to 1570 m (4925-5150 feet). Sites are wet and soils are heavy, clayey Vertisols (one stand was classified as a Typic Haplotorrert). It has been described from three areas in New Mexico, one within the eastern plains near Roswell, the second from the Jornada del Muerto and the last from the southern Animas Valley. <i>Panicum obtusum</i> is common to luxuriant, sometimes forming a broad band surrounding barren centers of the playas. <i>Helianthus ciliaris</i> is common in the herbaceous layer that often includes <i>Scleropogon brevifolius, Aristida adscensionis, Eleocharis palustris, Ratibida tagetes, Portulaca oleracea, Phyla cuneifolia, Hoffmannseggia glauca, Sphaerophysa salsula</i> and <i>Melampodium leucanthum</i>. A <i>Panicum hallii</i> phase has been described from highly degraded sites.
Comm #11264	A.1899 » more details accession code: VB.CC.1598.A1899	EcoArt 2002	0	Rainforest community usually occurring below 400 m altitude, on yellowish-red mountain soils, with essentially monospecific 30- to 35-m tall upper canopy layer of ~Carapa guianensis$, with second and third species-rich canopy layers.
Comm #11265	Carex stricta - Carex spp. Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.37047.CEGL002258	Midwestern Ecology Working Group...	0	This wet sedge meadow community is found in the southern Great Lakes region and parts of the central midwestern United States. Sites occur in stream valleys, along lake margins, and in depressions and channels in glacial outwash. Soils include wet mineral soils, muck, or shallow peat (&lt;0.5 m), with the water table below the surface for most of the growing season. The vegetation is dominated by sedges and grasses, but the shrub component can be high as 25%. Dominant plants include <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> and <i>Carex stricta</i>. Associated graminoids include <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), Carex bebbii, Carex lacustris, Eleocharis</i> spp., <i>Juncus</i> spp., <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i> (common in more degraded examples), and <i>Typha latifolia</i>. Typical forbs include <i>Anemone canadensis, Asclepias incarnata, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum var. lanceolatum (= Aster simplex), Equisetum arvense, Eupatorium maculatum, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Iris versicolor, Lycopus americanus</i>, and <i>Solidago canadensis</i>.

Comm #11270	Calamagrostis stricta - Carex sartwellii - Carex praegracilis - Plantago eriopoda Saline Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.37107.CEGL002255	Midwestern Ecology Working Group...	0	This saline wet meadow community is found in the northern tallgrass region of the United States and adjacent Canada. Stands occur on level ground in depressions where the water table is at or near the surface for part of the year. The soil and water are moderately saline. The vegetation cover of this community is moderately dense to dense. Graminoids of medium and short stature are the dominant lifeform, although forbs are common. Shrubs may invade this community in the absence of fire, especially on less saline sites. The most abundant species are <i>Symphyotrichum lanceolatum (= Aster lanceolatus), Calamagrostis stricta, Carex praegracilis, Carex sartwellii, Juncus balticus, Plantago eriopoda</i>, and <i>Schoenoplectus maritimus (= Scirpus maritimus)</i>.
