Comm #12086	Bouteloua hirsuta - Bouteloua radicosa Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.34249.CEGL001765	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This is a sparse desert grassland that is restricted in its distribution to the 'Borderlands' of southwestern New Mexico and probably southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico. It occupies sites on moderately steep (15%), rocky, bouldery slopes and convex ridges in the lower foothills of the Animas Mountains. Elevation is roughly 1680-1770 m. Substrate is described as gravelly silt loam with much surface rock and gravel, together averaging 60%. Parent material is rhyolite. Stands have a relatively sparse herbaceous layer (<20% cover) of predominately perennial, medium-tall grasses, and may have a significant shrub component. <i>Bouteloua hirsuta, Bouteloua radicosa</i>, and <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i> are the most abundant grasses with cover varying from 2-6% each. Shrubs include <i>Ericameria laricifolia</i> and <i>Nolina microcarpa</i>. Many forbs occur in trace amounts. The most common are <i>Eriogonum wrightii</i> and <i>Dalea</i> spp. This is a floristically diverse association, with over 30 species, and includes a component of Madrean species not commonly found together.
Comm #12087	Deschampsia caespitosa - Phleum alpinum Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.23638.DESCHAMPSIACAES	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This type occupies wet alpine and subalpine meadows in the Bighorn Mountains of north-central Wyoming and the Medicine Bow Mountains and Sierra Madre of south-central Wyoming. Deschampsia caespitosa dominates the vegetation, and Phleum alpinum is a subdominant. A number of other graminoids and forbs often are present, including Carex spp., Achillea millefolium, Antennaria corymbosa, Symphyotrichum foliaceum, Ranunculus alismifolius, and Pedicularis groenlandica. Dasiphora fruticosa may also be present, but shrubs contribute little cover.
Comm #12088	Distichlis spicata - (Scirpus nevadensis) Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.33975.CEGL001773	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This herbaceous association occurs in Oregon, Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming and may extend into California, Nevada and Washington. This description is based on information only from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This graminoid association is found in playas and sandsheets at 2295 to 2320 m elevation. Stands are intermittently flooded and may have poorly or well-drained loamy sand or sandy clay soils. Ground cover is primarily bare soil with 70-91% cover. This association may be found as a distinct band around frequently flooded areas, or as continuous cover in shrubland openings with salty, frequently inundated soils. Vegetation cover is generally sparse (<10%) but can be dense in places. <i>Scirpus nevadensis</i> is dominant in wetter areas and may have up to 90% cover. <i>Distichlis spicata</i> is present with <5% cover. The few other species present represent typical regional salty soil species such as <i>Cleome multicaulis, Suaeda calceoliformis, Spartina gracilis, Triglochin maritima</i>, and scattered individuals of <i>Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i>.
Comm #12089	Festuca rubra Stabilized Dune Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.34153.CEGL001774	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This association is found in the sand dunes that exist in scattered localities along the northern Pacific coast. It occurs where the movement of sand is generally slight to moderate, such as on sheltered sand plains, old blowouts or deflation plains. It is especially well-developed on deflation plains where moisture is ample, but without standing water. It is a sparse to moderately dense, herbaceous association dominated by perennial grasses and forbs. The grass <i>Festuca rubra</i> is commonly present and spreading by long rhizomes. Most of the species have low to mounding statures, or in the case of silver moss (<i>Racomitrium canescens</i>), spreading. Silver moss is intolerant of sand burial and so is an indicator of relatively sheltered and/or stable dune forms. This association is rich in forb species. Most of the species occurring in the association are not found in unstabilized dune forms. Other species common to this grassland include <i>Cardionema ramosissimum, Hypochaeris radicata, Lupinus littoralis, Polygonum paronychia, Polypodium glycyrrhiza</i> and <i>Solidago simplex var. spathulata (= Solidago spathulata)</i>.
Comm #12090	Carex atlantica - Solidago patula var. patula - Lilium grayi / Sphagnum bartlettianum Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.20044.CAREXATLANTICAS	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This community is an open, graminoid-dominated wetland with significant cover of Sphagnum spp. It has a strong component of species of northern phytogeography occurring in combination with species endemic to the southern Appalachians, and in association with felsic gneisses or schists and acidic, nutrient-poor seepage. The dwarf-shrub (less than 0.5 m), Vaccinium macrocarpon, may be scattered throughout or be locally dominant. Typical dominants are Carex echinata, Solidago patula var. patula, Carex leptalea, Carex atlantica, Rhynchospora capitellata, Scirpus atrovirens, Osmunda cinnamomea, Lysimachia terrestris, Vaccinium macrocarpon, Eriophorum virginicum, and Polytrichum commune. Other characteristic species are Arethusa bulbosa, Aulacomnium palustre, Bazzania trilobata, Calopogon tuberosus, Carex folliculata, Carex gynandra, Carex trisperma, Chelone cuthbertii, Juncus effusus, Juncus subcaudatus, Lilium grayi, Melanthium virginicum, Orontium aquaticum, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Oxypolis rigidior, Parnassia asarifolia, Platanthera grandiflora, Poa paludigena, Rhizomnium appalachianum, Sagittaria latifolia (= var. pubescens), Scirpus cyperinus, Scirpus expansus, Scirpus polyphyllus, Packera aurea (= Senecio aureus), Sphagnum bartlettianum, Sphagnum fallax, Sphagnum affine (= Sphagnum imbricatum), Sphagnum palustre, Sphagnum recurvum, Spiraea alba, Spiraea tomentosa, Stenanthium gramineum var. robustum, Thelypteris palustris var. pubescens, Thelypteris simulata (rarely), and Rhizomnium appalachianum. This community can occur on flat areas, in portions of valley bottoms that are not subject to flooding, but maintained hydrologically by rainwater and a high water table, or in the upper portions of stream watersheds, on slight slopes, hydrologically maintained by very nutrient-poor to fairly nutrient-rich seepage.
