Name: Populus angustifolia - Juniperus scopulorum Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Populus angustifolia- and Juniperus scopulorum-dominated riparian areas are uncommon. This community occurs along lower foothill streams with perennial to intermittent streamflows. Total biomass and canopy cover are usually low. The association is characterized by an open canopy of Populus angustifolia and Juniperus scopulorum, often with little else growing in the understory. The species composition and percent cover are variable and depend on aspect, elevation, and streamflow, in addition to the degree of disturbance by recreational use and livestock grazing.
