Name: Elaeagnus commutata Temporarily Flooded Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This Elaeagnus commutata shrubland is a minor type forming narrow stringers on stream terraces in northern Montana, east of the Continental Divide. Stands in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Idaho appear to be more mesic than those from the eastern portion of its range. Elaeagnus commutata is the dominant shrub throughout. Salix spp., Amelanchier alnifolia, and Prunus virginiana may be common in western stands, while Rosa woodsii and Artemisia cana may occur in eastern stands. Common grasses in the east are Eurasian meadow grasses, while Elymus lanceolatus (= Agropyron dasystachyum), Hesperostipa comata (= Stipa comata), and Koeleria macrantha are common in the west. Riparian forbs are common in western stands, while grassland forbs predominate in eastern stands.
