HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Pumpelly brome is listed as a stand type in the following published
description of plant communities:

Steppe vegetation on south-facing slopes of pingos, central arctic
   Coastal Plain, Alaska, U.S.A. [32]

Species associated with Pumpelly brome are listed for arctic alluvial
fan tundra in the central Brooks Range of Alaska [8], for steppe
communities on bluffs within the boreal forest of east-central Alaska
[10], and for forest vegetation in young, mixed stands in uplands near
Fairbanks, Alaska [33].  Associates are listed for the northwestern
Northwest Territories on the coast of Amundsen Gulf [7] and on the
MacKenzie River Delta [6].  Associates are also listed for relatively
undisturbed mountain grasslands in Wyoming [28], for an undisturbed dry
butte site in southeastern Montana [25], and for a prairie in
northwestern Montana that reflects past agricultural use and the present
effects of grazing disturbance [20].
