Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This wetland and riparian alliance occurs in washes and canyon bottoms in the Mojave Desert, southeastern Great Basin, and southern California mountains. Stands are restricted to intermittently flooded drainages, seeps, and springs. Substrates are gravelly sand to sandy loam-textured soils that are seasonally saturated. Boulders and bedrock are common. Parent materials are typically granitic. Sites range from flat washes to steep slopes. The vegetation is characterized by an open, microphyllous shrub layer dominated by ~Baccharis sergiloides$. Other shrubs and dwarf-shrubs may be present including ~Acacia greggii, Ericameria linearifolia, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Gutierrezia microcephala, Lotus rigidus, Opuntia acanthocarpa, Prunus fasciculata, Rhus trilobata$, and ~Yucca schidigera$. Occasional emergent ~Populus fremontii$ or ~Salix$ spp. may occur. Herbaceous species such as ~Artemisia ludoviciana, Muhlenbergia rigens$, or ~Sphaeralcea ambigua$ may be present to common.
