Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Limited information is available about this riparian alliance. Stands have been described from the Wasatch Range in Utah where they occur on nearly level stream terraces below 1830 m in elevation, and where slopes are less than 3%. The water table is seasonally within 1 m of the surface, as indicated by the presence of distinct mottles. Soil texture is generally coarse-loamy to fine-loamy. Stands in this forest alliance are dominated by ~Acer negundo$ in the tree canopy and ~Equisetum arvense$ in the herbaceous layer. Other woody vegetation is sparse. Other herbaceous species present may include ~Maianthemum stellatum, Mentha arvensis$, and ~Elymus glaucus$. Some exotic graminoids, such as ~Poa pratensis$ or ~Agrostis stolonifera$, may be common in some stands. ~Quercus gambelii$ or other low-elevation tree and shrub communities may dominate adjacent uplands.
