Name: Populus deltoides / Carex pellita Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This woodland plant association occurs sporadically on clayey soils along broad, braided channels in low-lying swales and overflow channels in the lower South Platte River of northeastern Colorado (Central Shortgrass Prairie, Ecoregion 27). It likely occurs in Nebraska, Wyoming and Kansas. Mature Populus deltoides dominates the canopy (50-80% canopy cover), while Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa) forms a dense ground cover. Tree canopy may also include Salix amygdaloides (31-61% cover). There is no consistent shrub canopy, though Prunus virginiana, Celtis laevigata, and Parthenocissus quinquefolia may be present. Other herbs include Elymus lanceolatus, Bromus inermis, Muhlenbergia asperifolia, and Phalaris arundinacea. This is a late-seral community, requiring first scouring floods for Populus deltoides establishment, then cessation of scouring floods for Carex pellita establishment.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25118.POPULUSDELTOIDE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
