Name: Salix exigua / Elymus x pseudorepens Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a lowland riparian shrubland association known from the middle and upper Rio Grande watershed in north-central New Mexico. This type is associated with low-gradient rivers at elevations around 1830 m (6000 feet). Stands occur on depositional sidebars or island bars that are frequently flooded (annually). Soils have been reported as loamy and sandy-skeletal Aeric Fluvaquents that are normally wet within 0.5 m of the surface. This association is characterized by moderate to dense canopies of <i>Salix exigua</i>. The understory is grassy and dominated by abundant <i>Elymus x pseudorepens</i>. An additional nine wetland indicators have been recorded for the type: <i>Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), Muhlenbergia racemosa, Argentina anserina, Boehmeria cylindrica, Equisetum arvense, Equisetum laevigatum, Lycopus asper, Oenothera elata ssp. hirsutissima</i>, and <i>Rumex verticillatus</i>.
