Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This plant association occurs on wide floodplains on the Western Slope and Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains at elevations of 2490-2800 m (8170-9200 feet). Sites occur in areas that are flat or hummocky and typically within 0.5 m (2 feet) of the channel high-water mark. Stream channels where this association occurs are typically narrow and highly sinuous. The willow canopy is nearly a homogeneous mix of <i>Salix geyeriana</i> and <i>Salix monticola</i>. Other shrubs that may be present include <i>Salix planifolia, Salix drummondiana, Lonicera involucrata</i>, and <i>Ribes inerme</i>. The herbaceous layer can be patchy but generally is dominated by <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i>. Other herbaceous species that may be present include <i>Carex aquatilis, Geum macrophyllum</i>, and <i>Heracleum maximum</i>.
