Name: Juglans major Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
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 canopy 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. Common graminoid species are Bouteloua curtipendula, Bouteloua gracilis, and Carex spp. Forb cover was reported to be sparse and typically weedy. No other information is currently available.
