Source History
Collected
1998.
Montana, United States
Locality: The original Opportunity Germplasm Nevada bluegrass (accession number 9081633) seed collection was made in 1998 near the Wisdom Junction along Highway 1, 1.5 km (0.93 miles) east of Anaconda, Montana.
Environment description: The collection site was severely contaminated with heavy metals from smelter fallout, surface wind and water transport, as well as historic overflow from the waste canal that supplied the Opportunity Sediment Ponds. Surface soil pH was 4.3
Number of plants sampled: 10
Comment: The original donor plants were found growing in association with slender wheatgrass Elymus trachycaulus, redtop Agrostis gigantea, scarlet globemallow Sphaeralcea coccinea, and western wheatgrass Pascopyrum smithii.

Narrative
Opportunity Germplasm Nevada bluegrass originated in the upper in the upper Clark Fork River basin of western Montana where a native stand was found growing on acidic soil impacted by acid/heavy-metal contamination, resulting from historic copper smelter emissions, and currently by wind and surface water erosion. The testing of this selection has been limited to the immediate area of its origin and at the Bridger Plant Materials Center in south-central Montana where it has performed well. Based on the performance data in the Stucky Ridge CEP, other non-reported field trials, and in its native range, Opportunity Germplasm Nevada bluegrass is best adapted to elevations of 2,000 to 6,000 feet, performing more favorably on lower elevation (valley) sites. This selection should prove well adapted for use on drastically disturbed acidic and heavy-metal impacted areas of low to mid-mountain elevations in the northern Rocky Mountain region, given soil amendment and other favorable climatic conditions. As a seed source found growing naturally in the northern Rocky Mountains, it is assumed this selection will perform well in other mountainous regions of the Intermountain West with similar environments and climates.
