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)$, and ~Elymus elymoides (= Sitanion hystrix)$.
