HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Cutleaf filaree occupies a variety of habitats, from desert to riparian
[23,25].  In riparian communities, it indicates recent or frequent
disturbances [29].  The largest North American cutleaf filaree
populations occur in California, where annual grasslands have replaced
historical perennial grasslands [20,47].  Cutleaf filaree has been
listed as a dominant community type (cts) in the following published
classification:
