Name: Populus fremontii / Acer negundo Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forested riparian association is known from canyon bottoms in southwestern New Mexico, southern Utah and northern Arizona, but it is likely to also occur in Nevada and California. <i>Populus fremontii</i> and <i>Acer negundo</i> form the dominant overstory canopy, often with <i>Juglans major</i> as a codominant in the southern part of the range. Associated woody understory species form a very open canopy and do not form a true shrub layer, and may include <i>Artemisia tridentata, Baccharis salicina, Brickellia longifolia, Brickellia californica, Ericameria nauseosa, Quercus gambelii, Rhus aromatica, Rhus trilobata, Salix exigua</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron rydbergii</i>. The herbaceous component of the community is variable depending on the site, the depth to water table and the flood frequency. Stands occur on gently sloping, lower riparian terraces associated with perennial streams. These are sites that flood periodically but not necessarily annually.
