Name: Acer negundo / Betula occidentalis Riparian Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: In Colorado these riparian woodlands grow in narrow, sandstone box canyons of western Colorado. Stands are dominated by a medium-tall (2.5-5.5 m) broad-leaved, deciduous tree canopy. This woodland appears to be a very unusual combination, and is considered a rare plant association. <i>Acer negundo</i> dominates the overstory with 40-70% cover. The shrub layer is dominated by 25-80% cover of <i>Betula occidentalis</i>. Other shrub species include 0-30% cover of <i>Salix exigua</i> and 0-10% cover each of <i>Forestiera pubescens</i> and <i>Clematis ligusticifolia</i>. Herbaceous undergrowth is sparse. Information on stands that occur outside Colorado will be added later.
