Name: Populus deltoides / Scour Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is found along the La Plata River in the San Juan River basin of northwestern New Mexico and probably elsewhere in northern New Mexico. Preliminary data suggest that sites are frequently flooded, low riverbars and in-channel riverwash along low-gradient rivers of lowland river valleys, at elevations around 1700 m (5580 feet). This is an early- to mid-successional association that occupies recently scoured bars and banks. Populus deltoides is present as seedlings and saplings, and Tamarix ramosissima may be common. Salix exigua is usually present but low in cover. Although ground cover is sparse, native wetland indicators are usually present and include Agrostis exarata and Eleocharis palustris. As a keystone species, the reproduction of Populus deltoides after flooding (and sufficient subsequent base flows) is critical to the sustainability of this community.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28404.POPULUSDELTOIDE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
