Name: Acer negundo / Cornus sericea Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is known from lower montane canyons in Utah, western Colorado, and the southeastern corner of Idaho at elevations of about 2100-2300 m (7000-7700 feet). It occurs on gently sloping terraces and benches in narrow, shady canyons, on second-order and higher streams. The overstory of this forest association is dominated by Acer negundo. Betula occidentalis, Alnus incana, or Acer grandidentatum occasionally form a dense low-tree layer. Cover of Cornus sericea is usually greater than 25%, and Salix lutea or Salix exigua are occasionally present. Minor amounts of Rosa spp., Ribes inerme and Symphoricarpos oreophilus may also be present. The herbaceous layer is highly variable with Maianthemum stellatum (= Smilacina stellata) and Poa pratensis commonly occurring. Populus angustifolia, Salix exigua, or other Acer negundo types may dominate adjacent riparian plant communities.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26502.ACERNEGUNDOCORN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
