Name: Populus deltoides / Pascopyrum smithii - Panicum obtusum Woodland Reference: Carsey et al 2003b Description: The Populus deltoides/Pascopyrum smithii-Panicum obtusum (plains cottonwood/western wheatgrass-vine mesquite) riparian woodland occurs on silty clay soils along rivers and streams of the eastern Colorado plains. The cottonwood trees are large and create an near-continuous overhead canopy. High quality stands have few shrubs, creating an open, park-like structure. Unfortunately, Tamarix ramosissima (tamarisk) has become a thick subcanopy in many stands along the lower Arkansas and Purgatory Rivers in Colorado.  Accession Code: VB.CC.29376.POPULUSDELTOIDE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 7
