Name: A.945
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance is found primarily along intermittently to temporarily flooded low-elevation (below 1500 m) streambeds and stream margins in desert canyons and valleys. Stream gradients are gentle. The headwaters of these streams are in montane areas, and even when the streambed is dry, it is usually subirrigated. Following monsoonal rains, the streambed can be shallowly inundated for several weeks at a time. These are riparian shrublands with ~Juglans microcarpa$ as a dominant. Other woody species can include ~Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Fallugia paradoxa, Brickellia laciniata, Salix gooddingii, Salix nigra, Platanus occidentalis, Ungnadia speciosa$, and ~Quercus$ spp.
