HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES:


Agropyron-Koeleria, in which prairie Junegrass is a dominant species, is one of the northern plains mixed-prairie climax communities [30]. Prairie Junegrass is also a climax dominant within mixed-grass communities of southern Alberta and an indicator species of lower- to middle-north facing slopes [32].

Prairie Junegrass is listed as an indicator or a dominant species in the following publications:

Plant communities of the Blue Mountains in eastern Oregon and southeastern Washington [50]
Plant associations of the Crooked River National Grassland [57]
Habitat types on selected parts of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre National Forests [68]
A preliminary classification of high-elevation sagebrush-grass vegetation in northern and central Nevada [77]
Plant associations (habitat types) of Region 2 [115]
Sagebrush steppe [128]
