Name: Salix wolfii / Carex microptera Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association occurs at mid to upper elevations in moderately wide valley bottoms. Stands occupy benches that are up to 1 m above the channel and seeps at the base of toeslopes. The association has been described from central Idaho and in Wyoming at Yellowstone National Park. Salix wolfii with lesser amounts of Lonicera caerulea, Betula nana (= Betula glandulosa), and Salix spp. dominate a low-shrub layer. The herbaceous understory is diverse and no species is clearly dominant. Species with moderate constancy and fidelity include Carex microptera, Carex aquatilis, Deschampsia caespitosa, Trisetum wolfii, Symphyotrichum foliaceum? (= Aster foliaceus), and Swertia perennis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23476.SALIXWOLFIICARE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
