Name: Salix boothii / Carex utriculata Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Stands occur between 1800 and 2805 m (5900-9200 feet) in elevation. Sites are usually in wide valley bottoms on low-gradient floodplains, often associated with abandoned and current beaver ponds. This cold-deciduous shrubland is composed of tall willows, from 1.2-2.4 m (4-8 feet) in height. <i>Salix boothii</i> is the dominant species, as a monoculture or with lesser amounts to near codominance of <i>Salix geyeriana, Salix lucida, Salix drummondiana</i>, or <i>Salix wolfii</i>. Other shrubs may be present in small amounts; generally underneath the taller shrubs are <i>Lonicera involucrata, Betula glandulosa, Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda, Ribes inerme</i>, or <i>Ribes lacustre</i>. The herbaceous undergrowth is very abundant, often a dense sward of pure <i>Carex utriculata</i>.
