Name: Baccharis salicifolia / Schoenoplectus pungens Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is found in the San Francisco River watershed in southwestern New Mexico. Preliminary data suggest this type occurs along low-gradient streams (0.4%) and rivers at elevations around 1370 m (4500 feet). It is known from depositional sidebars that are within or near the level of bankfull discharge. Hence, they are likely to be flooded on an annual basis. Soils are reported as sandy-skeletal Typic Fluvaquents. This type is characterized by an open canopy of Baccharis salicifolia underlain by a luxuriant graminoid cover strongly dominated by Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens). Other herbaceous wetland indicators known from the type are Carex microptera, Paspalum distichum, Equisetum laevigatum, and Typha latifolia.
