Name: Populus angustifolia / Symphoricarpos albus Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association is limited to small patches in Front Range canyons of Colorado. The overstory of this plant association is characterized by 40-75% cover of mature Populus angustifolia and 8-20% cover of Juniperus scopulorum. The shrub layer in mesic stands is dominated by 20-90% cover of Symphoricarpos albus on the eastern slope, and by Symphoricarpos rotundifolius on the western slope. Other shrub species which may or may not be present include Prunus virginiana, Quercus gambelii, Ribes lacustre, Ribes cereum, Alnus incana, Betula occidentalis, and Salix bebbiana. Xeric stands are less diverse and have a higher abundance of Symphoricarpos spp. (80-95% cover) and may represent older, more mature stands. Graminoid cover is mostly non-native grasses.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23014.POPULUSANGUSTIF Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
