Name: Salix eastwoodiae / Carex aquatilis Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Shrublands dominated by <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> occur in subalpine habitats above 2800 m in the northern Rocky Mountains. <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> dominates a low to medium height (1-2 m) shrub layer with lesser amounts of <i>Salix planifolia</i> and <i>Lonicera caerulea</i>. <i>Carex aquatilis</i> is always present and other herbaceous species including the graminoids <i>Carex rostrata, Carex norvegica, Carex microptera</i> and mesic forbs may sometimes be present. The shrublands create broad open meadow/willow mosaics and may occur at the mouths of tributaries and in oxbows associated with forested riparian habitat. Soils are saturated at or near the surface through mid-summer. In broad valley bottoms the ground may be hummocky and cut with many channels.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32474.CEGL001195 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
