Name: Juglans major - Acer negundo / Rhus trilobata var. trilobata Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is found along the Lower Gila River (Grant County) and probably elsewhere in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. This type is known from about 1830 to 2030 m (6000-6650 feet) elevation along the outer edges of floodplains on high terraces. Soils tend to be relatively dry, loamy or sandy, and rocky (Fluventic Ustochrepts and Haplustolls and Typic Ustifluvents). <i>Juglans major</i> and <i>Acer negundo</i>, both wetland indicators, form a closed canopy over a well-represented shrub layer dominated by <i>Rhus trilobata var. trilobata</i>. <i>Brickellia californica</i> occasionally codominates. The herbaceous-layer diversity is moderate (25 species recorded for the type), but sites may contain many ruderal or weedy species common to nearby agricultural lands. <i>Acer negundo</i> was indicated as a major tree associate in the <i>Juglans major</i> Community Type of Szaro (1989), along with <i>Rhus trilobata var. trilobata</i> in the shrub layer.
