Name: Salix exigua / Barren Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian shrubland is common in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado Plateau and Great Basin. It is composed of nearly pure stands of <i>Salix exigua</i>, with few other species. Exposed gravel, cobbles or sand characterize the ground cover, but an undergrowth of a few, scattered forbs and grasses is usually present. This association occurs within the annual flood zone of rivers on point bars, islands, sand or cobble bars, and streambanks.
