Elymus elymoides predominates in post-fire vegetation in a relatively small area where the fire history is unrecorded. Contrary to conventional thought, Bromus tectorum is not the only grass to increase in abundance in post-fire sagebrush steppe. [RD25-09 off of T3 east of T17.]

An Agropyron cristatum green strip along Lincoln Blvd has been colonized by the sagebrush steppe forbs, grasses, and shrubs. A new Agropyron cristatum green strip cuts through the old Agropyron cristatum green strip, representing a recent revegetation effort. This site lies along Lincoln Blvd just north of the main southern entrance, Idaho National Laboratory, Butte County, Idaho.
NRCS State Agronomist Susan Tallman in a perennial mix seeded during the third year of monoculture conversion project. This location was previously monoculture crested wheatgrass pasture. Courtney Herzog chose to participate in the North Stillwater County Pasture Monoculture Diversification Targeted Implementation Plan, developed by the NRCS field office in Columbus based on local priorities. The purpose of the TIP is to renovate the monoculture pastures to a diverse mix of plants that allows for different season of use on these pastures. This option facilitates a grazing plan with more management options that helps to improve the health of native rangeland units. Herzog Farm, Stillwater County, MT. July 2021

Native, cool-season, perennial, loosely tufted, short-lived grass to 100 cm tall. Leaves typically have a half twist and the flag leaf sticks out at a right angle. Leaf sheaths are hairy and auricles are present. Flowerheads are spikes to 25 cm long. Spikelets are 6-12-flowered and not or little overlapping; their sides are against the stem. Lemmas have an awn which is 9-47 mm long and strongly curved when mature. Calluses are distinctly hairy. Flowers from late winter to late summer. A minor component in pastures, it grows on most soil types and is drought and frost tolerant. Native biodiversity. A variable species; plants on good soils produce high quality, palatable green feed in the cooler months, but plants on shallower soils tend to have harsher leaves and produce little feed. Generally only a short lived plant, but can recruit well from seed. Responds positively to fertiliser. Often preferentially grazed, but is avoided after it runs to head. Rotationally graze or provide strategic rests in late spring to aid persistence.
Agropyron cristatum, crested wheatgrass, is established over large contiguous patches and sometimes far away from roads. This site is over a mile east of Lincoln Blvd and just south of the main north entrance to the Idaho National Laboratory, Butte County, Idaho.

Borough Market, Soutwark. Ask for wheatgrass and the stallholder cuts a hank of it with scissors and then juices it fresh for you.
The diversity of forbs in this low sagebrush dominated community is the same as that in the lower flatter Wyoming big sagebrush dominated vegetation. The blue flowered Penstemon cyananthus subglaber is to the extreme left. The abundant grasses are Agropyron spicatum and Elymus ambiguus.
My friend Mary had me try my very first wheatgrass shot!
Not surprisingly, it tasted just like I was eating grass. Yum =/.
The main highways in the Upper Snake River plains, including within the Idaho National Laboratory, are lined with crested wheatgrass green strips, such as here along Lincoln Blvd, about midway between the main north and south entrances, Butte County, Idaho. Undisturbed sagebrush steppe sits a couple of hundred meters away in the background. A mix of green strip and sagebrush steppe in-between suggests that sagebrush steppe can advance into the green strip in these setting where humans have little impact (e.g., no livestock grazing occurs in much of the lands administered by the Idaho National Laboratory. For example, native shrubs such as Artemisia tridentata, Chysothamnus viscidiflorus, and Grayia spinosa are common throughout the green strip but crested wheatgrass bunches are lacking from the adjacent sagebrush steppe.
Leaving Lincoln Blvd and heading east on T20. Crested wheatgrass predominates in this roadside area.
Slender wheatgrass is common in the sagebrush steppe but only along road sides and similarly disturbed settings. This native bunchgrass is a short-lived perennial and has spikelets with fairly large glumes (i.e., that envelope, or nearly so, the floret cluster of the spikelet).
From the Columbia Pleateau northward to Marsing, Idaho, cheatgrass (and medusahead) abundance becomes more common seemingly as a function of lower elevation rather than degree and nature of disturbance.
This rhizomatous grass is one of the few species occupying a small area where sheep were grazed ostensibly to reduce the abundance of certain invasive plant species (but exotic plant cover remains very high).

The sagebrush steppe in this study site has a diversity of shrub, herb (forb), and grass species, suggesting no recent history of overstocking. Thickspike wheatgrass (Agropyron dasystachyum) is the most dominant grass between the shrubs.

Agropyron dasystachyum is somewhat common along the shallow sandy margins of the Saint Anthony sand dunes, Fremont County, Idaho. The broad multi-veined glumes and moderately hairy lemmas are distinctive of thickspike wheatgrass. The wheatgrass auricles are somewhat conspicuous in this species.

One of many scenes where crested wheatgrass predominates (even if as stubble) on the north side of Big Southern Butte.

The days immediately before the 15 July 2010 Jefferson fire, the sagebrush steppe of the Idaho National Laboratory was still green and lush given that 2010 was a relatively wet and cool year. Here, basin wildrye stands tall among a large stand of squirreltail, Elymus elymoides. This site lies north of Middle Butte (background) and north of highway 20, Bingham County, Idaho (near the Butte County line).

Basin wildrye forms large stands and often reach 2 meters or taller. This grass is often found in dry settings but where water catches or seeps.
Spreading wheatgrass is fairly common in the alpine and subalpine settings of the Jarbidge Mountains. Glumes with long awns and the ascending to sometimes nearly prostrate stems are diagnostic, as is the flowering head that shatters at maturity (i.e., similar to Elymus elymoides, which has an erect growth habit and two rather than one spikelet per inflorescence node).
Blue wildrye produces mostly 4 glumes (2 spikelets) per node and these have a palmate orientation rather than two pairs of opposing glumes.
