Dune Plants of the High Desert

Sand Dunes tend to have a list of plant species all their own, much different from the surrounding landscape. In North central Nevada we see quite an exquisite example of this in the narrow endemic plant species, #Psorothamnus kingii, known only from this region. We discuss the difference between #Paleoendemics and #Neoendemics, while cursing loudly to ourselves about the massive ecological benefit provided by such plants as #Grindelia squarrosa and #Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, members of the sunflower family that bloom late in the summer when everything else is tapering off. These plants act as a pollinator buffet and support the food chain when little else is available in the form of nectar or pollen.
