Name: Salix eastwoodiae / Carex aquatilis Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Shrublands dominated by <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> occur in subalpine habitats above 2800 m in the northern Rocky Mountains. <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> dominates a low to medium height (1-2 m) shrub layer with lesser amounts of <i>Salix planifolia</i> and <i>Lonicera caerulea</i>. <i>Carex aquatilis</i> is always present and other herbaceous species, including the graminoids <i>Carex rostrata, Carex norvegica, Carex microptera</i>, and mesic forbs may sometimes be present. The shrublands create broad open meadow/willow mosaics and may occur at the mouths of tributaries and in oxbows associated with forested riparian habitat. Soils are saturated at or near the surface through mid-summer. In broad valley bottoms the ground may be hummocky and cut with many channels.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30104-{E20C8474-FFBD-4051-AA06-CA670F083347} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
