Name: Salix exigua / Barren Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian shrubland is common in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado Plateau and Great Basin. It is composed of nearly pure stands of Salix exigua, with few other species. Exposed gravel, cobbles or sand characterize the ground cover, but an undergrowth of a few, scattered forbs and grasses is usually present. This association occurs within the annual flood zone of rivers on point bars, islands, sand or cobble bars, and streambanks.
