Salix boothii / Calamagrostis canadensis Wet Shrubland | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Salix boothii / Calamagrostis canadensis Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This riparian shrub association is found in the U.S. Rocky Mountains from western Montana south through western Wyoming, central and eastern Idaho, and northeastern Utah, into northern Colorado, and west as far as eastern Oregon and possibly eastern Washington. Stands occur on medium- or fine-textured mineral soils (sometimes with an appreciable volume of rock fragments) with a seasonally high water table, on terraces and gentle slopes. Elevations vary with geographic area from 1469 m (4820 feet) in Montana to over 2745 m (9000 feet) in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. The vegetation consists of a tall-shrub layer dominated by <i>Salix boothii</i> and often containing <i>Salix geyeriana, Salix drummondiana, Salix eastwoodiae</i>, or <i>Salix commutata</i>; often, a low-shrub layer of <i>Lonicera involucrata, Ribes</i> spp., and <i>Salix wolfii</i>; and a thick herbaceous layer in which <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> (or, in Montana, <i>Calamagrostis stricta</i>) contributes as much cover as does any other native species. The dominance of <i>Salix boothii</i> in the tall-shrub layer and <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> in the herbaceous layer set this association apart from other willow associations.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30084-{2D1FCA99-A9B6-4C3A-B571-A137012E9465} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
