Name: Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni / Disturbed Understory Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association has only been described from Canyon de Chelly and Dinosaur national monuments, but it is likely to occur on abandoned floodplain terraces of low-gradient rivers and streams throughout the eastern Colorado Plateau of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and northeastern Arizona. The association is best developed on level valley bottom sites that no longer flood and that have been subjected to a long history of domestic livestock grazing. The vegetation underneath the open gallery canopy of <i>Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni</i> consists primarily of upland plants and is dominated by aggressive exotic species such as <i>Bromus tectorum, Elymus repens, Acroptilon repens, Lepidium latifolium</i>, and <i>Poa pratensis</i>. Relict native grasses, shrubs and forbs may be present with relatively low cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31881.CEGL003810 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
