Name: Rosa woodsii Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This shrubland occurs in the foothills and plains of Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and eastern California. Elevations range from 650-2490 m. Stands occur in floodplains and on alluvial terraces along rivers and streams, on hillsides below springs, and in ravines and swales where overland flow from snowmelt and summer thunderstorms provides additional moisture. It can also occur on disturbed sites with little moisture, such as steep south-facing hill slopes. Sites are flat to moderately steep. Floodplain sites are temporarily flooded, well-drained with no perched water table. Soils range from sandy loams to silt loams. Stands typically have a moderately dense short-shrub layer which Rosa woodsii dominates. Some stands have moderate cover of Rosa acicularis, Symphoricarpos occidentalis, or Toxicodendron rydbergii. Other shrubs can include Artemisia tridentata and Ribes aureum. Some stands have an herbaceous layer dominated by the exotic grasses Poa pratensis or Bromus tectorum and the weedy forb Cirsium arvense. Other common herbaceous species include perennial graminoids, such as Elymus glaucus, Leymus cinereus, Carex spp., Juncus balticus, and Muhlenbergia racemosa, and the forbs Achillea millefolium, Ambrosia psilostachya, Artemisia ludoviciana, Fragaria virginiana, Galium boreale, Geum macrophyllum, and Solidago canadensis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25564.ROSAWOODSIISHRU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
