Name: Baccharis emoryi / Juncus balticus Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian shrubland association is found along the lower Pecos in southeastern New Mexico. It occurs along low-gradient rivers of wide lowland valleys at elevations from 1370 m (4500 feet). Sites are l low-depositional riverbars that are flooded at least on a five-year basis. Soils are reported as coarse-loamy over sandy-skeletal Oxyaquic Ustifluvents. Thickets of the shrub Baccharis emoryi form moderate (40% cover) shrub canopies with a graminoid understory dominated by Juncus balticus with a scattering of other grasses and forbs such as Sporobolus compositus var. compositus, Sporobolus airoides, Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens), Muhlenbergia asperifolia, and Oenothera villosa ssp. strigosa. The exotic Tamarix ramosissima can be well-represented but clearly not dominant.
