Name: Salix lasiolepis / Rosa woodsii / Mixed Herbs Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian willow shrubland association is reported in north-central Nevada. Sites are on gentle slopes at around 1692 m (5550 feet) elevation with western aspects. The vegetation is characterized by a Salix lasiolepis-dominated, dense tall-shrub canopy with a short-shrub layer (1-2 m tall) codominated by Rosa woodsii and Artemisia tridentata. Other common shrubs include Cornus sericea (= Cornus stolonifera) and Ericameria nauseosa. Clematis ligusticifolia, a vine, is often present. The herbaceous layer is composed of mixed forbs and graminoids such as Hordeum brachyantherum, Leymus cinereus, Phlox longifolia, Polygonum argyrocoleon, and Ranunculus cymbalaria. However, most sampled stands are dominated by the introduced annual grass Bromus tectorum and introduced perennial herb Cirsium vulgare.
