Name: Salix geyeriana - Salix monticola / Mesic Forbs Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is documented from over 20 locations in Colorado at the elevational range of 2300-2900 m (7700-9400 feet). Stands occurs on broad alluvial floodplains with steep sideslopes. This riparian shrubland has a tall, mixed, deciduous shrub canopy that is codominated by Salix geyeriana and Salix monticola with an understory altered by livestock grazing. The herbaceous layer consists of dense grasses and forbs on a hummocky ground surface. Season-long grazing has increased the non-native grass component of this association. Stands with their native herbaceous undergrowth intact are extremely rare.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19004.SALIXGEYERIANAS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
