Name: Populus fremontii / Salix (ligulifolia, lutea) Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This woodland association is known from narrow stream terraces and intermittently flooded drainage bottoms in Canyonlands National Park and Natural Bridges National Monument. Occurrences range from 1555 to 1910 m of elevation on flat, moderately well- to rapidly drained substrates of sands or loamy sands derived of alluvium. Bare ground, litter, and bare sand occupy most of the unvegetated surface. The vegetation of these stands is characterized by open canopies of <i>Populus fremontii</i> with a moderately dense to dense shrub layer dominated by <i>Salix lutea</i>. Other shrub associates include <i>Salix exigua, Mahonia fremontii, Tamarix chinensis</i>, and <i>Rhus trilobata</i>. The herbaceous layer may be patchy to dense depending on shrub cover. Herbaceous associates include <i>Equisetum laevigatum, Phragmites australis, Juncus arcticus, Solidago canadensis, Heterotheca villosa, Comandra umbellata</i>, and <i>Penstemon cyanocaulis</i>, and <i>Juncus balticus</i>.
