Shadscale scrub information


Shadscale scrub is a plant community and vegetation type that occurs in upper elevations of the Mojave Desert and lower elevations of the Great Basin ecoregion or biome, characterized by salt tolerant plants—halophytes.

It is located at higher elevations than the saltbush scrub plant community, but shares some of its plant species.[1]
