Name: Populus tremuloides Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance contains a number of communities found from the Great Lakes to the western and southwestern United States. Most stands of this alliance are found in riparian zones. Some may be near lakes where the ground is flooded or saturated for a short time in the spring. The moderate to closed tree canopy is dominated by Populus tremuloides, sometimes with Populus balsamifera codominant. More open stands have a prominent shrub layer containing species such as Alnus incana, Cornus sericea, and Salix spp. The sole reference cited for the Populus tremuloides Canyon Formation Forest (CEGL000576) does not mention Populus tremuloides.
