Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Shrublands dominated by <i>Salix eastwoodiae</i> occur in subalpine habitats above 2300 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 utriculata</i> is always present. The shrublands create broad open meadow/willow mosaics and may occur at the mouths of tributaries and in oxbows associated with forested habitat. Soils are saturated at or near the surface through mid-summer.
