Name: Salix lemmonii / Rosa woodsii Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian association is a tall shrubland found at moderate elevations (2760-5650 feet) in eastern Oregon, Idaho, northern Nevada, and northeastern California. It is found along alluvial bars, streambanks and benches in many types of valley settings. These settings range from V- to trough-shaped and very narrow to moderately wide with moderate to high gradients and moderately steep to very steep sideslopes. Most sites have a high percentage of rock or bare soil on the ground surface. This association is found on second and third order streams. Salix lemmonii forms a dense shrub overstory over Rosa woodsii and Ribes spp. (Ribes aureum and/or Ribes inerme) in the understory. Philadelphus lewisii occurs at sparse to abundant canopy cover in many shrub overstories in Oregon, but is not reported from the California, Nevada or Idaho stands. The herbaceous layer consists of a variety of forbs and grasses including Artemisia douglasiana, Achillea millefolium, Rumex crispus, Clematis ligusticifolia, Urtica dioica, Mimulus guttatus, and Hordeum brachyantherum. In areas that have been heavily used by livestock, Poa pratensis often dominates.
