Name: Salix lasiolepis - Cornus sericea / Rosa woodsii Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association was sampled from 760 to 1770 m (2500-5800 feet) elevation, primarily in south-central and southeastern Oregon, although it has been seen farther north in the Columbia River Basin and the Blue Mountains. Valleys are V-, box- and trough-shaped, and very narrow to moderately wide with moderately high gradients and steep sideslopes. This association always occurs on streambanks, from small first order streams to moderately sized third order streams. <i>Salix lasiolepis</i> dominates the shrub overstory along with <i>Cornus sericea</i>. The shrub understory is populated with <i>Rosa woodsii, Ribes aureum</i>, and/or <i>Salix prolixa</i>. <i>Clematis ligusticifolia</i> is found on almost 70% of sites and is the dominant herbaceous species. Other occasional grasses and forbs include <i>Elymus glaucus, Achillea millefolium</i>, and <i>Epilobium ciliatum</i>. Most sites have a high percentage of bare ground, gravel or rock.
