HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
In many range studies scarlet globemallow is noted as the most common
forb in those areas that it is found; however, a grass species is
usually identified as the dominant understory species in related plant
community information.  Scarlet globemallow has been noted as present
but not necessarily dominant in several plant typings:

Plant associations of Region Two: potential plant communities of
  Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas [22]
Grasslands of the Great Plains [40]
Analysis of grassland vegetation in selected key areas in southwestern
  South Dakota [42]
