Name: Salix interior - Salix eriocephala Sandbar Shrubland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This sandbar willow type is found in the central, and possibly northeastern, United States and adjacent Canada. Its distribution is apparently centered on the Great Lakes region. Stands are dominated by <i>Salix interior</i> and <i>Salix eriocephala</i>. They occur on sandbars along major rivers and streams where river scouring and deposition creates newly exposed sandy substrates. The vegetation structure is quite dynamic, depending on flooding and ice scouring. Shrubs form a discontinuous to continuous canopy cover that may be fairly battered. <i>Salix interior</i> is the major dominant, sometimes the only shrub species present. <i>Salix eriocephala</i> may be present in some examples. Other vegetation characteristics of this type are not well described.
