Description: This alliance occurs in and adjacent to streambeds in the American Southwest. It is typically found along rubble-bottomed perennial and near-perennial streams, dry rocky ravines, arroyos, and streambeds from approximately 700-2300 m elevation. ~Juglans major$ dominates the tall-shrub layer with an average of 75% cover. ~Acer negundo$ codominants in nearly all of the Arizona stands. Generally, ~Juglans major$ could occur with any of the following codominant trees or tall shrubs: ~Sapindus saponaria, Platanus wrightii, Platanus occidentalis, Pinus edulis$, or ~Quercus$ spp. Other important shrubs and vines include ~Frangula californica (= Rhamnus californica), Rhus glabra, Rhus trilobata$, and ~Vitis arizonica$.
