Name: Salix lemmonii / Rosa woodsii Shrubland
Reference: Manning, M. E., and W. G. Padget...
Description: This riparian association is a tall shrubland found at moderate elevations of 840 to 1720 m (2760-5650 feet) in eastern Oregon, Idaho, northern Nevada, and northeastern California. It is found along alluvial bars, streambanks and benches in many types of valley settings. These settings range from V- to trough-shaped and very narrow to moderately wide with moderate to high gradients and moderately steep to very steep sideslopes. Most sites have a high percentage of rock or bare soil on the ground surface. This association is found on second and third order streams. <i>Salix lemmonii</i> forms a dense shrub overstory over <i>Rosa woodsii</i> and <i>Ribes</i> spp. (<i>Ribes aureum</i> and/or <i>Ribes inerme</i>) in the understory. <i>Philadelphus lewisii</i> occurs at sparse to abundant canopy cover in many shrub overstories in Oregon, but is not reported from the California, Nevada or Idaho stands. The herbaceous layer consists of a variety of forbs and grasses including <i>Artemisia douglasiana, Achillea millefolium, Rumex crispus, Clematis ligusticifolia, Urtica dioica, Mimulus guttatus</i>, and <i>Hordeum brachyantherum</i>. In areas that have been heavily used by livestock, <i>Poa pratensis</i> often dominates.
