Name: Alnus oblongifolia / Baccharis salicifolia Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is found along Palomas Creek and probably elsewhere in the Black Range (Sierra County) and the mountains of southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. Stands are known to occur along moderate-gradient (1.0-1.5%), lower montane stream channels at around 1525 m (5000 feet) elevation. Flooding is probably frequent, at least within a five-year return interval. Soils are cobbly and have been identified as moist sandy-skeletal Aeric Fluvaquents. This type is characterized by young, open stands of Alnus oblongifolia poles and saplings, with abundant Baccharis salicifolia in the shrub layer. Young Juglans major may also occur. Among the forbs, Apocynum cannabinum is well-represented, and the vines Vitis arizonica, Clematis ligusticifolia, and introduced Parthenocissus quinquefolia are common to well-represented.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28042.ALNUSOBLONGIFOL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
