Name: Populus tremuloides / Betula occidentalis Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association of Colorado and eastern Nevada is a lush, deciduous riparian woodland with a canopy of aspen and sometimes conifer or cottonwood trees. The understory has a high structural diversity of mesic shrubs and an herbaceous undergrowth ranging from a thick carpet of grasses and forbs to a very sparse ground cover in heavily shaded areas. The streamside location and the presence of obligate riparian shrub species, such as <i>Betula occidentalis, Salix exigua</i>, and <i>Cornus sericea</i>, distinguish this association from upland <i>Populus tremuloides</i> communities.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32791.CEGL002650 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
