Stands occur as inclusions in other riparian vegetation mostly on small streams. Substrate is coarse-textured loam. Ground cover is a mixture of litter (41%), bare ground (13%), vegetation (11%), pavement (11%), and rock (24%). The vegetation is characterized an open tree canopy dominated by <i>Populus fremontii</i> with <i>Pinus monophylla</i> and <i>Juniperus osteosperma</i> trees often present. The moderately dense to dense shrub layer is dominated by <i>Salix geyeriana</i>. Occasional <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> may be present.
