Name: Salix lasiolepis - Cornus sericea / Rosa woodsii Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association was sampled from 2500-5800 feet elevation, primarily in south-central and southeastern Oregon, although it has been seen farther north in the Columbia River Basin and the Blue Mountains. Valleys are V-, box- and trough-shaped, and very narrow to moderately wide with moderately high gradients and steep sideslopes. This association always occurs on streambanks, from small first order streams to moderately sized third order streams. Salix lasiolepis dominates the shrub overstory along with Cornus sericea. The shrub understory is populated with Rosa woodsii, Ribes aureum, and/or Salix prolixa. Clematis ligusticifolia is found on almost 70% of sites and is the dominant herbaceous species. Other occasional grasses and forbs include Elymus glaucus, Achillea millefolium, and Epilobium ciliatum. Most sites have a high percentage of bare ground, gravel or rock.
