Name: Sapindus saponaria Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Vegetation types within this alliance occur at lower elevations, 1100-1500 m, in the American Southwest. Detailed information on landforms, soils, and adjacent vegetation was not available. Vegetation types within this alliance are classified as temporarily flooded, cold-deciduous forests. The tree subcanopy can range from open to dense with 60-100% cover of Sapindus saponaria and Juglans major. Other trees present in the tree subcanopy can include Arbutus xalapensis (= Arbutus texana) or Juniperus deppeana. The tall- and short-shrub layers are present with 25-60% cover and can include Mahonia fremontii (= Berberis fremontii), Celtis laevigata var. reticulata (= Celtis reticulata), Morus microphylla, Prunus serotina, Rhus trilobata, and Ptelea trifoliata ssp. angustifolia (= Ptelea angustifolia). The vine layer is typically present with 25-60% cover and is dominated by Vitis arizonica. The herbaceous layer is present, but there was no available percent cover given. Common herbaceous species include Bouteloua curtipendula, Brickellia brachyphylla, Chenopodium album, Croton pottsii, Phaseolus filiformis (= Phaseolus wrightii), and Elymus elymoides (= Sitanion hystrix).
