Name: Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra / Salix fluviatilis Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: From Kunze (1994): This community type occurs along the banks of main channels in the overflow plain and gorge segments of the Columbia River of Washington, especially above Vancouver. It occurs on sand and cobble beaches above the tidal zone. The community type is sometimes subject to drought and high temperatures in summer. It is scoured by winter high water and tolerant of flooding caused by releases from Bonneville Dam. This community type is codominated by <i>Salix fluviatilis </i>and <i>Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra (= </i><i>Salix lasiandra)</i>. The abundance of other species is low, and drier portions of stands are subject to invasion by <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i>. Additional taxa include <i>Carex feta</i> and <i>Carex vulpinoidea</i>. This community type has invaded areas formerly scoured by annual winter and spring floods, and forms dense stands on former sand flats.
