Name: Salix wolfii / Carex microptera Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This plant association occurs at mid to upper elevations in moderately wide valley bottoms. Stands occupy benches that are up to 1 m above the channel and seeps at the base of toeslopes. The association has been described from central Idaho and in Wyoming at Yellowstone National Park. <i>Salix wolfii</i> with lesser amounts of <i>Lonicera caerulea, Betula glandulosa</i>, and <i>Salix</i> spp. dominates a low-shrub layer. The herbaceous understory is diverse and no species is clearly dominant. Species with moderate constancy and fidelity include <i>Carex microptera, Carex aquatilis, Deschampsia cespitosa, Trisetum wolfii, Symphyotrichum foliaceum</i>, and <i>Swertia perennis</i>.
