Alberta Range Plants And Their Classification (Agdex 134-06)
Revised May 2016Agdex 134-06Alberta Range Plants andTheir ClassificationAlberta rangelands consist of native and introducedplant species that exist in plant communities.These lands are made up of grasses, sedges, forbs,shrubs and even trees. Rangelands provide an importantsource of forages for domestic and native animals aswell as protection to the soil and watersheds.Specific to the plant species found in aparticular area at any point in time, plantcommunities group various populationsizes of plants occurring together onthe landscape. These communities aremanaged in pastures, grazing reservesand ranches as range ecosystems, whichare complex collections of living andnon-living (biotic and abiotic) parts thatinterconnect with each other within therangeland environment.Using this factsheetIn this factsheet, each range plant species is shown undertwo names: a common (English) name and a scientific(Latin or Greek) name. This presentation is so that theplants can be sorted into the various taxonomic genera,families and classes based on that species’ uniquephysical characteristic[s] and to helpmanagers find more information on thatparticular plant. See the tables later inthis factsheet.Range plantsare importantas forage forlivestock andwildlifeThis complex network of individual bioticand abiotic entities works together cohesively as a singleunit. This unit functions as a continuum of cause-andeffect relationships that is never ending as long as theecosystem can support life in any form. If one part of thisunit is affected, the whole network and every individualpart within it is affected as well.Rangeland environments and range ecosystems areinherently complex. However, they are largely basedon individual plants that are important as forage forlivestock and herbivorous wildlife. To maintain the sitestability, stand longevity and structural integrity of theircommunities, range managers must know these plantsand their various structural and habitual characteristics.Because a plant can have several differentcommon names in different parts ofthe province or country, the scientificname helps pinpoint the identity of thatplant more accurately, especially if it isdiscussed among range managers all overthe globe.Range plants can also be grouped based on variouscharacteristics like plant type, lifespan, origin, responseto grazing (or other disturbances like fire and drought)and forage value. In the “Definitions” section below,Plant type groups various species with similar physicalcharacteristics to define them as grasses, grass-like plants,forbs, shrubs or trees.Also in the section below, a plant’s life span, noted as anannual, biennial or a perennial, determines the longevityof a plant. Origin refers to plants indigenous to NorthAmerica or that have been introduced recently from othercontinents. Plants with varying responses to grazing aregrouped as decreasers, increasers or invaders.
OriginFinally, forage value, grouped as good, fair, poor and/orpoisonous, is determined by palatability (acceptance bygrazing animals based on taste), nutritional value andabundance for grazing. Poisonous plants are deemed assuch if they contain toxins harmful to grazing animals.Native plants – those plants that are indigenous to NorthAmerica.Introduced plants – plants that have been brought in fromoutside North America in the last few centuries and arenot usually present in the original plant community.Range plants can also be classified according to what partof the growing season they tend to grow best in. Most ofthe plants listed in this publication show a “cool season”response where the major portion of their growth occursduring spring and early summer when temperaturesrange from 18 C to 24 C. Some plants, including bluegrama (Bouteloua gracilis), little bluestem (Schizachyriumscoparium) and red three-awn (Aristida purpurea var.longiseta), are classed as “warm season” plants becausethey grow slowly during the early part of the season, butgrow best in late spring and summer when temperaturesrange from 32 C to 35 C.Response to grazingGrazing response - the reaction a species has tocontinuous defoliation, usually by grazing and hoofdamage. Soil type, moisture levels and climateultimately affect the response to defoliation for any onespecies. Where a species is a primary decreaser in oneenvironmental condition, it may become an increaser in adifferent environmental situation. (Note that the responseof plants to defoliation is not limited to grazing animals.The response is also related to the effects of fire, insectdamage and drought.) Types of range plants responsesare grouped as follows:Definitions of plantcharacteristics Decreasers – plant species of an original or climaxplant community that decrease in relative amount withcontinued disturbances, such as heavy grazing. Theseplants may be either highly palatable, being continuallysought out by grazing animals and often the first onesto be defoliated throughout the growing season, orthey may lack certain physical characteristics thatwould otherwise help them in their recovery.Plant typeGrasses – herbaceous plants with narrow, long, parallelveined leaves and hollow, jointed stems. Spikes of smallseeds borne between two scales are found at the topportion of these stems. lncreasers – plant species of an original plantcommunity that will increase in relative amount forperiod of time under continued disturbances suchas heavy grazing. Increasers will generally take overthe community. Increaser plants are typically thoseadapted to heavy defoliation because they grow closeto the ground and possess physiological attributes thatallow them to recover quickly from grazing and hoofdamage. They may also be less palatable and thereforeless desirable to grazing animals. Such plants need tobe monitored since they are a sign of heavy grazing(such as high intensity, high frequency grazing) andcan increase in abundance beyond what is acceptable.Overuse, however, can cause even these plant types todecrease in the community.Grass-like plants – look very similar to grasses but havesolid stems (not hollow) that are often three-sided and notjointed. Leaves are no different from grasses. These aremade up of sedges and rushes.Forbs – herbaceous, broad-leaved plants with annual topsand leaves with net-like veins (range weeds and flowers).Shrubs – woody, often deciduous perennials with stemsthat live over the winter and branch out from near thebase or at ground level.Trees – woody, single-stemmed perennial plants thatreach a mature height of at least 3 metres.Life span Invaders – commonly are weedy plants that haveestablished themselves in a plant communitybecause the more desirable species have died outfrom heavy grazing and trampling. A high proportionof invader species is generally a sign of excessivegrazing pressure; however, some noxious rangeweeds such as leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula), spottedknapweed (Centaurea maculosa) and even aspenpoplar (Populus tremuloides) are capable of invadinghealthy range ecosystems.Annual plants – live only for one growing season. Theydo not come up a second year from roots or a crown butrather from seeds deposited by a parent plant.Biennial plants – require two years to complete life cycle.Vegetative growth is focused during the first year, then inthe second year, flowering, fruit production and death.Perennial plants – live and reproduce year after year,producing leaves, stems and flowers for more than twoyears from the same root system.2
Forage values Poor – plants that lack adequate nutrients for thegrazing animal. Also, most plants that contain antinutritional factors that cause reduced intake orpossible illness are also classed as having “poor”forage value.Forage value – is determined by palatability, nutritionalquality and abundance (biomass in terms of lb/acre ofplant material) for livestock. Nutritive value ultimatelydepends on the type of animal consuming that plant andits stage of growth (i.e., immature vegetative vs. maturedormant). Classification of range forage value is as follows: Poisonous – plants classed as “poor” quality foragedue to compounds or toxins that cause illness or deathof grazing animals. Good – plants are nutritious, highly palatable andtend to produce abundant forage in their originalcommunity. Fair – plants are very likely to produce adequatenutrients when consumed; however, they may nothave substantial palatability or do not produce anabundance of forage in their original community.GrassesCommon nameScientific nameLife spanOriginGrazing responseForage valueAlkali cord grassSpartina gracilisPerennialNativeIncreaserPoorAlpine timothyPhleum alpinumPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodAwned wheatgrassAgropyron trachycaulum var.unilateralePerennialNativeIncreaserGoodBearded wheatgrassElymus caninusPerennialIntroducedInvaderGoodBluebunch wheatgrassAgropyron spicatumPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodBlue gramaBouteloua gracilisPerennialNativeIncreaserGoodCalifornia oat grassDanthonia californicaPerennialNativeIncreaserGoodCanada bluegrassPoa compressaPerennialIntroducedlnvaderGoodCanada wild ryeElymus canadensisPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodCanby bluegrassPoa canbyiPerennialNativeIncreaserGoodCheat grass/downy bromeBromus tectorumAnnualIntroducedlnvaderPoorColumbian needle grassStipa columbianaPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodCommon reedPhragmites australisPerennialNativeDecreaserFairCreeping red fescueFestuca rubraPerennialIntroducedlnvaderGoodCrested wheatgrassAgropyron pectiniformePerennialIntroducedlnvaderGoodEarly bluegrassPoa cusickiiPerennialNativelncreaserGoodFalse melicSchizachne purpurascensPerennialNativeIncreaserPoorFoothills rough fescueFestuca campestrisPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodFowl bluegrassPoa palustrisPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodFowl manna grassGlyceria striataPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodFoxtail barleyHordeum jubatumPerennialNativelnvaderPoorFringed bromeBromus ciliatusPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodGiant wild ryeElymus piperiPerennialNativeDecreaserFairGreen needle grassStipa viridulaPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodHairy wild ryeElymus innovatusPerennialNativelncreaserGoodHooker’s oat grassHelictotrichon hookeriPerennialNativeDecreaserFairIdaho fescueFestuca idahoensisPerennialNativelncreaserGoodIndian rice grassOryzopsis hymenoidesPerennialNativeDecreaserGoodIntermediate oat grassDanthonia intermediaPerennialNativeIncreaserGoodIntermediate wheatgrassAgropyron intermediumPerennialIntroducedInvaderGood3
