Name: Acer negundo / Salix exigua Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is found in the Upper Pecos watershed of northern New Mexico and is probably found elsewhere throughout the range of the Alliance. Preliminary data suggest that this type occurs on depositional side bars and terraces along streams with moderate entrenchment and stream gradients between 1.2 and 1.5%. This is a lower montane type with elevations estimated to range from 1650 to 1980 m (5400-6500 feet). The soils are reported as loamy to sandy loam in the surface layers with significant cobbles below 30 cm (loamy skeletal Typic Fluvaquent). This type is characterized by an open canopy of Acer negundo with a diverse shrub layer dominated by Salix exigua. Other shrubs include Salix lutea, Rosa woodsii, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, and Gutierrezia sarothrae. The herbaceous layer understory is well-represented and includes Bromus inermis, Bromus japonicus, and Lolium pratense (= Festuca pratensis).  Accession Code: VB.CC.28102.ACERNEGUNDOSALI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
