Name: A.2511
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This locally occurring alliance is found in deep canyons and mountains on the Colorado Plateau in southwestern Utah and western Colorado. This vegetation is restricted to mesic sites such as near seeps, springs and ephemeral stream channels, or on lower colluvial slopes where additional soil moisture is available. Substrates often are derived from colluvium and have large gravel and cobbles. Parent material is typically sandstone. The vegetation is characterized by a moderately dense (30-50% cover) cold-deciduous, tall-shrub canopy that is dominated by ~Fraxinus anomala$ with ~Quercus gambelii$ codominating in the Colorado stand. Associated shrubs include ~Amelanchier alnifolia, Ericameria nauseosa, Holodiscus dumosus, Rhus trilobata$, and ~Symphoricarpos rotundifolius$. Herbaceous species are variable and contribute minimal cover.
