Name: Populus fremontii - Salix gooddingii Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This community occurs as small isolated stands or as linear bands that parallel stream channels. This deciduous woodland typically towers above the surrounding vegetation. Populus fremontii and Salix gooddingii may be nearly equal in abundance, or either may dominate. Individuals of Populus fremontii are scattered or occur in groves, and may reach 30 m in height and 2 m in diameter. Other species that may occur in the canopy/subcanopy include Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni, Salix lasiolepis, Salix exigua, Salix amygdaloides, Fraxinus berlandieriana, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Juglans microcarpa, Prosopis pubescens, Prosopis glandulosa, and Prosopis velutina. The understory of most examples have been considerably altered by grazing and other factors, thus the composition and cover of the native understory is difficult to ascertain, but frequently consists of shrubs and small trees (1-5 m tall). The herbaceous stratum varies in composition and coverage, but is characterized by mixed annuals and short-lived perennials.
