Name: Baccharis emoryi Seasonally Flooded Shrubland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Documented at elevations ranging from 1080 to 1220 m (3550-4000 feet), this type occurs on low, frequently flooded bars bordering narrow to moderately wide, and deep sandy-bottomed or silt-laden channels with very low stream gradients. Soils are Entisols and only moderately drained. There are few or no coarse fragments near the surface, and soils are clayey or coarse-loamy and sandy. Where this alliance develops, alluvial sediments are finer than areas where other lowland shrub alliances establish. There may be ponded water on the surface for long periods, and the soil profile is saturated at greater depths. Capable of forming dense thickets (over 90% total canopy cover), this shrubland alliance is codominated with other obligate riparian shrubs such as Salix exigua. The understory consists of mesic graminoids such as Juncus balticus, Distichlis spicata, and Sporobolus airoides.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28219.BACCHARISEMORYI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
