Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is only known from Curecanti National Recreation Area in western Colorado. The single sampled stand occurs at the bottom of McIntyre Gulch. The site is gently sloped (8%) with an eastern aspect and occurs at 2314 m elevation. Soil is a moderately well-drained silty clay loam. There is high cover of litter and low cover of bare soil on the ground surface. The vegetation is characterized by a moderately closed tree canopy (about 50% cover), dominated by <i>Populus angustifolia</i> trees 20-35 m tall and a moderately dense tall-shrub layer (2-5m tall), with over 10% cover of <i>Quercus gambelii</i>. Other tall shrubs present may include <i>Amelanchier alnifolia, Rhus trilobata</i>, and <i>Lonicera involucrata</i>. Short shrubs are diverse, provide moderate cover, and include <i>Rosa woodsii, Juniperus communis, Juniperus scopulorum, Mahonia repens, Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Pentaphylloides floribunda)</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos rotundifolius</i>. Seedling <i>Quercus gambelii</i> are also present and provide sparse cover. The herbaceous layer is moderately diverse and provides low cover.
