This sparse shrubland is only known from Canyonlands National Park in eastern Utah. Stands occur on colluvial deposits in canyons on steep slopes (22-34°) between 1471 and 1549 m elevation. Rocks and gravel cover most of the unvegetated surface, with low cover by bare soil. Soils are rapidly drained sandy clay loams derived from colluvium of the Moenkopi and Organ Rock formations. Total vegetation cover ranges from 2 to 14%. The vegetation is characterized by a sparse shrub canopy dominated by <i>Ericameria nauseosa var. juncea</i> with up to 8% cover. Associated shrubs, dwarf-shrubs and succulents include scattered <i>Ephedra viridis, Ephedra torreyana, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus var. stenophyllus, Gutierrezia sarothrae, Yucca angustissima</i>, and <i>Opuntia erinacea</i>. Occasional <i>Juniperus osteosperma</i> trees and seedlings may be present with less than 1% cover. The sparse herbaceous layer has variable composition, depending on the substrate. Species such as <i>Pleuraphis jamesii, Achnatherum hymenoides, Tiquilia latior, Cryptantha</i> sp., <i>Stanleya pinnata, Lepidium montanum var. jonesii</i>, and <i>Eriogonum inflatum</i> are commonly present. The introduced annual grass <i>Bromus tectorum</i> is common in some stands. Although biological soil crusts provide little cover (because most of the surface is rock-covered), they are well-developed and include <i>Collema</i> sp., <i>Fulgensia</i> sp., <i>Toninia</i> sp., mosses, and dark cyanobacteria. |

This alliance is found in the western United States and south-central Canada. It occurs predominantly in the West and requires rangewide review for a complete description. In the Midwest, it is characterized by moderate cover (>25%) of shrubs, most of which are approximately 1 m tall. Mixedgrass prairie species occupy the spaces between the shrubs. Dominant shrubs include ~Amelanchier alnifolia, Prunus virginiana$, and ~Symphoricarpos occidentalis$. Typical herbaceous species include ~Pascopyrum smithii, Hesperostipa comata (= Stipa comata)$, and other species characteristic of mixedgrass prairie. |

This community represents marl prairies of the south Florida Everglades region. It occurs on "table-rock" formations which are surfaces of oolite elevated above wet prairies [see ~<i>Muhlenbergia filipes - Rhynchospora microcarpa - Centella erecta</i> Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL003978)$$]. Apparently as a consequence of this higher topographic position, this type is rarely flooded. It occurs in small, widely scattered areas in a matrix dominated by pyrogenic wet prairie vegetation. <i>Schizachyrium rhizomatum, Aristida purpurascens var. tenuispica, Eragrostis spectabilis, Andropogon gyrans, Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus, Panicum tenerum</i>, and <i>Paspalum setaceum</i> are the principal graminoids present, and are indicative of this community in combination. Woody species present include <i>Baccharis halimifolia, Chamaecrista deeringiana, Chiococca parvifolia, Senna ligustrina</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia var. munsoniana</i>. Other herbaceous species present include <i>Anemia wrightii, Buchnera longifolia, Eupatorium leptophyllum, Funastrum clausum (= Sarcostemma clausum), Hyptis alata, Linum carteri, Polygala grandiflora, Solidago stricta</i>, and <i>Odontosoria clavata (= Sphenomeris clavata)</i>. |
