Name: Salix drummondiana / Carex aquatilis Shrubland
Reference: Carsey et al 2003b
Description: The Salix drummondiana/Carex aquatilis (Drummond willow/water sedge) plant association forms a narrow band of tall (5-8 feet, 1.5-2.5 m) willows lining steep to moderately steep streams in the montane zone of the Rocky Mountains. The dominance of Carex aquatilis (water sedge) in the undergrowth is an indication of a wet, stable site. This association represents one of the wettest types within the Salix drummondiana Alliance.
