Name: Salix prolixa / Rosa woodsii Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian shrubland association is found east of the Cascade Mountains in eastern Oregon, generally on third or fourth order streams. Elevations range from 2700-4900 feet. It occurs in narrow to wide valleys that are V-, trough- and flat-shaped and have moderate gradients and moderately steep to steep sideslopes. Fluvial surfaces are alluvial bars and streambanks, most with abundant bare ground, gravel or rock exposed on the soil surface. Salix prolixa forms a scattered to dense shrub overstory. Rosa woodsii is present in the shrub understory in half of the communities sampled. Other shrub species that are occasionally present are Cornus sericea, Philadelphus lewisii, Prunus virginiana, Crataegus douglasii, Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra, and Toxicodendron rydbergii. The herbaceous layer is sparse to moderately populated with a variety of grasses, graminoids and forbs, including Juncus balticus, Eleocharis palustris, Achillea millefolium, Rumex crispus, Clematis ligusticifolia, Urtica dioica, Solidago canadensis, and Artemisia ludoviciana. On more degraded sites, Poa pratensis and Agrostis stolonifera are abundant.
