Name: Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni / Shepherdia argentea Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is found along the Animas River in northwestern New Mexico and probably elsewhere in northern New Mexico. Available data indicate that the type is likely to occur in lowland valleys on infrequently flooded riverbars and terraces at around 1750 m (5700 feet) elevation. Soils are reported as relatively dry and deep, coarse-loamy over sandy-skeletal Oxyaquic Ustifluvents. This type is characterized by a moderately closed canopy of mature <i>Populus deltoides</i> with a shrubby understory dominated by <i>Shepherdia argentea</i>, along with <i>Forestiera pubescens var. pubescens</i>. The exotic <i>Elaeagnus angustifolia </i>can be common. Grasses are well-represented to abundant and may include <i>Poa pratensis, Muhlenbergia asperifolia, Lolium pratense (= Festuca pratensis), Elymus repens (= Elytrigia repens var. repens), Elymus trachycaulus</i>, and <i>Bromus inermis</i>.
