Name: Salix farriae / Eleocharis quinqueflora Saturated Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: n infrequent bog and poor fen association that appears between 579-1525 m (1900-5000 feet) in northeastern Washington and northernmost East Cascades regions. It is associated with very low-gradient streams and lakes in very broad, very low-gradient valleys. This bog association has deep moss-peat soils that usually remain saturated throughout the growing season and with little surface water exposed. These are anaerobic soils with poor nutrients, and they are much warmer than other low willow associations in the region. This association has low vascular species diversity and, as sampled in Washington, no species appears in all plots. The species that appear in over half the samples are: the less than 2-m tall willow Salix farriae, the forb Comarum palustre, the graminoids Carex utriculata, Carex limosa, and Eleocharis quinqueflora, and seedlings of Picea engelmannii. Species that occur in 33% of plots are Salix planifolia ssp. planifolia (= var. monica), Betula nana, Viola macloskeyi, Calamagrostis canadensis, Carex diandra, and Eriophorum angustifolium ssp. subarcticum.
