Name: Platanus wrightii / Sparse Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is found in the Lower Gila River watershed (Mogollon Creek) and Animas Creek of the Black Range (eastern slope in the Rio Grande basin) of southwestern New Mexico and probably in southeastern Arizona. This type is known from dry creek and terraces beds at around 1740 m (4700 feet) elevation. Soils have been described as relatively dry, well-drained, weakly developed Entisols and Inceptisols (fine-loamy Oxyaquic Torrifluvents and coarse-loamy/sandy-skeletal Fluventic Ustochrepts). The dense overstory is dominated by Platanus wrightii with Celtis laevigata var. reticulata a sometimes well-represented subcanopy. It is characterized by the lack of significant shrub and herbaceous cover. Only Prosopis glandulosa is common. Overall diversity is low (22 species) and variable. Litter, woody debris, and sand dominate the shaded forest floor.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28046.PLATANUSWRIGHTI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
