Name: Salix lutea / Calamagrostis canadensis Shrubland
Reference:
Description: This is a riparian shrub type likely to occur in the foothills and mountains of central and eastern Montana and the valleys of western Montana, in the lower mountains and the basins of central and western Wyoming, and possibly in southeastern Idaho. In Montana, stands of this type can be found on moist alluvial terraces and around seeps, at elevations between 1116 and 1341 m (3660-4400 feet), which is lower than <i>Salix boothii</i> and <i>Salix geyeriana</i> stands. In Idaho, stands can be expected on gently sloping alluvial terraces below 2130 m (7000 feet), with <i>Salix boothii</i> stands or <i>Salix exigua</i> stands. In Wyoming, <i>Salix lutea</i> stands are found in the foothills and lower mountains. Stands of this association have a tall-shrub layer dominated or codominated by <i>Salix lutea</i> and often containing substantial amounts of <i>Salix bebbiana</i> and <i>Salix exigua</i>. <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> contributes as much cover to the undergrowth as does any other native species.
