Name: Salix eastwoodiae Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian shrubland type has been described from northwestern Wyoming. <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> occurs in the high subalpine as a low shrub, and at lower elevations as a taller shrub. Consequently, the undergrowth is variable. The shrub canopy is often shared with smaller amounts of <i>Salix planifolia, Salix drummondiana, Salix boothii, Salix geyeriana, Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda</i>, and <i>Lonicera involucrata</i>. The herbaceous layer can be dense and dominated by graminoids, such as <i>Carex praegracilis, Carex nigricans, Deschampsia caespitosa, Calamagrostis canadensis</i>, and <i>Juncus balticus</i>, or dominated by mesic forbs such as <i>Mertensia ciliata, Saxifraga odontoloma, Viola</i> sp., <i>Arnica mollis, Caltha leptosepala, Dodecatheon jeffreyi</i>, and <i>Thalictrum occidentale</i>. With more data, it may prove prudent to create a <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> / mesic graminoid type and a <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> / mesic forb type.
