Shrub steppe, Sevier Desert (Sevier Lake in background), UT (19826195263)

Description:

Description: This area may have habored sagebrush (e.g., Artemisia nova) but now Krasheninnikovia lanata, Ephedra nevadensis, Gutierrezia sarothrae, and Atriplex canescens (in low abundance) and are the common shrubs (i.e., not quite a salt desert). Sporobolus cryptandrus, Oryzopsis hymenoides, and Aristida purpurea are the common grasses. Halogeton glomeratus and Erodium cicutarium are the common herbs, which along with an abundance of Sporobolus suggest a long history of physical disturbance. Bromus tectorum does not occur in this vegetation. Date: 7 August 2015, 12:11. Source: Shrub steppe, Sevier Desert (Sevier Lake in background), UT. Author: Matt Lavin from Bozeman, Montana, USA.
