- W2509713905 abstract "Larrea divaricata Cav. is at a northern limit of its range in Yucca Flat, and occurs here in local aggregations chiefly on the middle slopes of the basin. Measurement of temperature along a gradient of elevation during a 7-month period from December to July recorded the repeated presence of a nocturnal tem- perature inversion due to cold air drainage into the basin. Larrea is essentially lacking in the cold-air lake, but also fails to occupy completely some sectors of the gradient where the temperature regime appears to be favorable. Yucca Flat, in southern Nevada, about 60 mi. northwest of Las Vegas, is an arid, internal-drainage basin about 20 mi. long with a minimum elevation of 3,914 ft. at the playa. It is a northern range limit for the creosote bush (Larrea divaricata Cav.) at this meridian. This warm desert species extends farther to the north, both to the east in Pahranagat Valley and to the west in Sarcobatus Flat, two struc- tural troughs which are lower in elevation than Yucca Flat. The dis- tribution of Larrea in Yucca Flat is spotty, and nowhere in this basin does it form pure or very extensive stands such as are to be found in Frenchman Flat, immediately to the south and ca. 1,000 ft. lower in elevation. The bajada vegetation in Yucca Flat is characterized by a dominance of the shrubs Grayia spinosa (Hook.) Moq. (hop sage), Lycium andersonii Gray, Coleogyne ramosissima Torr. (blackbrush) and a sparse, intermittent stand of Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia Engelm.). The Coleogyne shrub zone occupies the higher slopes of the bajadas and intergrades broadly with the Grayia-Lycium zone which dominates the lower slopes. Still lower, on fine-textured soils in the vicinity of the playa, is a zone dominated by Atriplex confertifolia (Torr. & Frem.) Wats. (shadscale). In the next desert basin to the north, Kawich Valley (ca. 1,000 ft. higher in elevation than Yucca Flat), the bajadas are dominated by zones of shadscale or big sage- brush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) vegetation typical of the Great Basin Desert, and both Coleogyne and Grayia zones are lacking." @default.
