Name: Salix eastwoodiae / Carex aquatilis Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Shrublands dominated by Salix eastwoodiae occur in subalpine habitats above 2800 m in the northern Rocky Mountains. Salix eastwoodiae dominates a low to medium height (1-2 m) shrub layer with lesser amounts of Salix planifolia and Lonicera caerulea. Carex aquatilis is always present and other herbaceous species including the graminoids Carex rostrata, Carex norvegica, Carex microptera and mesic forbs may sometimes be present. The shrublands create broad open meadow/willow mosaics and may occur at the mouths of tributaries and in oxbows associated with forested riparian habitat. Soils are saturated at or near the surface through mid-summer. In broad valley bottoms the ground may be hummocky and cut with many channels.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18042.SALIXEASTWOODIA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
