Name: Acer negundo / Cornus sericea Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is known from lower montane canyons in Utah, western Colorado, and the southeastern corner of Idaho at elevations of less than 1985 to 2350 m (&lt;6500-7700 feet). It occurs on gently sloping terraces and benches in narrow, shady canyons on second-order and higher streams. The overstory of this forest association is dominated by <i>Acer negundo</i>. <i>Betula occidentalis, Alnus incana</i>, or <i>Acer grandidentatum</i> occasionally form a dense low-tree layer. Cover of <i>Cornus sericea</i> is usually greater than 25%, and <i>Salix lutea</i> or <i>Salix exigua</i> are occasionally present. Minor amounts of <i>Rosa</i> spp., <i>Ribes inerme</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i> may also be present. The herbaceous layer is highly variable, with <i>Maianthemum stellatum</i> and <i>Geranium richardsonii</i> commonly occurring. <i>Populus angustifolia, Salix exigua</i>, or other <i>Acer negundo</i> types may dominate adjacent riparian plant communities.
