Name: Juglans major - Celtis laevigata var. reticulata / Brickellia californica Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is found in the Gila and Pecos river basins and probably elsewhere in southern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. This type is known from high alluvial terraces at elevations from 1000 to 1680 m (3240-5520 feet). Soils have been described as sandy without a rocky matrix and can exhibit some moderate development on the older terraces (Fluventic Ustochrepts and Ustipassaments). <i>Juglans major</i> dominates the overstory with <i>Celtis laevigata var. reticulata</i> occurring as a codominant or in the subcanopy (sometimes forming shrub-like thickets). This type tends to have a closed canopy, especially in older stands. <i>Brickellia californica</i> is diagnostic and common in the shrub layer. Herbaceous diversity is only moderate (25 species have been recorded for the type), variable, and mostly facultative upland species reflecting the drier site conditions.
