DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE

SPECIES: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. thermopola | Hotsprings Sagebrush
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : Hotsprings sagebrush occurs in east-central Oregon, the Stanley Basin of Idaho, and near Jackson, Wyoming, along the Wyoming-Idaho-Utah borders [19]. It grows on harsh sites in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks [2]. ECOSYSTEMS : FRES21 Ponderosa pine FRES26 Lodgepole pine FRES29 Sagebrush FRES34 Chaparral - mountain shrub STATES : ID OR UT WY ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS : GRTE YELL BLM PHYSIOGRAPHIC REGIONS : 5 Columbia Plateau 8 Northern Rocky Mountains 9 Middle Rocky Mountains KUCHLER PLANT ASSOCIATIONS : K011 Western ponderosa forest K012 Douglas-fir forest K037 Mountain mahogany - oak scrub K055 Sagebrush steppe SAF COVER TYPES : 210 Interior Douglas-fir 218 Lodgepole pine 237 Interior ponderosa pine SRM (RANGELAND) COVER TYPES : NO-ENTRY HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : Hotsprings sagebrush occurs as a dominant in sagebrush-grassland communities in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and elsewhere within its range. It is listed as a codominant indicator species along with Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis) in the following publications: Sagebrush-grass habitat types of southern Idaho [14] A preliminary description of plant communities found on the Sawtooth, White Cloud, Boulder, and Pioneer Mountains [22] Hotsprings sagebrush frequently grows in mosaics with big sagebrush and is commonly associated with Idaho fescue [19,30]. Plant associates and habitat requirements are similar to the more widely distributed gray low sagebrush [30]. Common plant associates include fernleaf fleabane (Erigeron compositus), rosey pussytoes (Antennaria rosea), Hood's phlox (Phlox hoodii), chimaya (Cymopterus bipinnatus), aster (Aster ssp.), and sulfur erigogonum (Eriogonum umbellatum) [22]. Some authorities believe that hotsprings sagebrush is restricted to areas adjacent to those occupied by threetip sagebrush (Artemisia tripartita) and gray low sagebrush [25].
