Name: Salix lasiolepis / Rosa woodsii / Mixed Herbs Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian willow shrubland association is reported in north-central Nevada. Sites are on gentle slopes at around 1692 m (5550 feet) elevation with western aspects. The vegetation is characterized by a <i>Salix lasiolepis</i>-dominated, dense tall-shrub canopy with a short-shrub layer (1-2 m tall) codominated by <i>Rosa woodsii</i> and <i>Artemisia tridentata</i>. Other common shrubs include <i>Cornus sericea (= Cornus stolonifera)</i> and <i>Ericameria nauseosa</i>. <i>Clematis ligusticifolia</i>, a vine, is often present. The herbaceous layer is composed of mixed forbs and graminoids such as <i>Hordeum brachyantherum, Leymus cinereus, Phlox longifolia, Polygonum argyrocoleon</i>, and <i>Ranunculus cymbalaria</i>. However, most sampled stands are dominated by the introduced annual grass <i>Bromus tectorum</i> and introduced perennial herb <i>Cirsium vulgare</i>.
