Name: Populus fremontii - Fraxinus velutina Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a lowland forested riparian association known from central and southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico and southwestern Utah. Elevations range from 1200-1550 m. Sites are typically rocky or sandy banks of moderate-gradient streams (1.5%) that are frequently flooded (two-year recurrence interval). Soils have been reported as coarse-loamy over fragmental Typic Torrifluvents, and as cobbly riverwash, reflecting the coarse substrates of sites. Populus fremontii and Fraxinus velutina codominate young, moderate to dense canopies (>50% cover). Acer negundo, Salix gooddingii, Juglans major, Alnus oblongifolia, and Celtis laevigata var. reticulata are occasional canopy or subcanopy associates. Undergrowth is moderately diverse, but cover is low. In the shrub layer there are usually scattered individuals of Baccharis salicifolia and Amorpha fruticosa. The herbaceous layer has sparse to moderate cover. Common associates may include Juncus saximontanus, Sphenopholis obtusata, Sporobolus cryptandrus, Muhlenbergia wrightii, and Datura wrightii. Disturbed stands often have high cover of the introduced Bromus diandrus, Bromus tectorum, or some other exotics.
