Name: Populus fremontii / Salix exigua Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is documented from along large rivers in Utah, southwestern New Mexico, and Arizona. Stands are found on stable bars at mid elevations of the floodplain. Substrates are typically relatively recently deposited alluvium. Periodic flooding is required for the growth, maintenance and reproduction of this forest. Characteristic of this deciduous forest is the dominance of Populus fremontii in the moderately dense to dense tree canopy and Salix exigua in the tall-shrub layer. Salix gooddingii or Baccharis salicifolia are not abundant or are absent. Other associated species include Distichlis spicata, Muhlenbergia asperifolia, Phragmites australis, and species of Equisetum, Juncus, and Carex. Introduced species such as Elaeagnus angustifolia, Tamarix spp., Poa pratensis, Melilotus spp., and other exotic forage species are often present in disturbed stands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22724.POPULUSFREMONTI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
