Name: Rosa woodsii Temporarily Flooded Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: These shrublands occur in the foothills and plains of Montana and Idaho. Elevations range from 650-1700 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. Sites are flat to moderately steep. Although sites are temporarily flooded, they are well-drained and do not have a shallow 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. Some stands have an herbaceous layer dominated by the exotic forage grass Poa pratensis and the weedy forb Cirsium arvense. Other common herbaceous species include perennial graminoids, such as Elymus glaucus, 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.
