Name: Acer negundo - Ostrya knowltonii Riparian Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This riparian woodland association is known from Capitol Reef National Park in southern Utah and this summary is derived from a plot sampled there in 1988. Total vegetation cover is in excess of 100% in this multi-layered stand. The vegetation is characterized by a relatively closed canopy of <i>Acer negundo</i> and <i>Ostrya knowltonii</i> trees that each range in cover from 51 to 75%. The associated tree canopy provides moderate cover and includes <i>Celtis laevigata</i>. The tall-shrub layer is low in terms of species composition, provides moderate to high cover, and includes <i>Frangula betulifolia</i> and <i>Quercus gambelii</i>. Short and dwarf-shrubs are low in terms of species composition, provide sparse cover, and include <i>Brickellia longifolia</i> and <i>Mahonia fremontii</i>. The herbaceous layer is low in terms of species diversity and provides sparse to moderate cover. Graminoids include <i>Elymus canadensis</i> and <i>Poa fendleriana</i>. Forbs include the fern-ally <i>Equisetum hyemale</i>. The stand occurs on a sandy bench adjacent to a perennial stream. The site slopes gently (3°) to the northeast at 1220 m elevation. The soil is derived from alluvium.
