Name: Populus angustifolia / Forestiera pubescens var. pubescens Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is found in the Rio Chama River watershed in northern New Mexico. Preliminary data indicate this type is found on infrequently flooded riverbars (10-year recurrence interval). Soils are coarse-loamy Oxyaquic Ustifluvents which are moist at about 0.5 m depth or within the rooting zone. Young <i>Populus angustifolia</i> form an open canopy with <i>Juniperus monosperma</i> in the subcanopy. Shrubs are well-represented to abundant, and <i>Forestiera pubescens var. pubescens</i> is diagnostic. Upland grasses tend to dominate the herbaceous layer and include <i>Bouteloua hirsuta, Pascopyrum smithii</i>, and <i>Sporobolus airoides</i>. The only native wetland indicator recorded for the type is <i>Equisetum laevigatum</i>. This type may be related to <i>Populus angustifolia - Juniperus scopulorum / Sporobolus cryptandrus</i> CT (New Mexico state type).
