Name: Celtis laevigata var. reticulata - Quercus gambelii - Cercis orbiculata Slickrock Canyon Spring & Riparian Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shrubland and low bosque association is known from the warm deserts of Mojave and Colorado in southeastern Utah and northern Arizona. This association is characterized by typically 2- to 5-m tall <i>Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Cercis orbiculata</i>, and/or <i>Quercus gambelii</i> shrubs or small trees with 3-90% cover, with very little herbaceous understory. The tree layer is moderately diverse and may include <i>Acer negundo, Juniperus osteosperma, Pinus edulis, Populus fremontii</i>, and/or <i>Populus tremuloides</i>. The shrub layer has moderate to high species diversity, but in some cases may be dominated by a single species, and provides low to moderate cover. Other shrubs commonly to occasionally present include <i>Amelanchier utahensis, Fraxinus anomala, Mahonia fremontii, Rhus trilobata</i>, and <i>Salix exigua</i>. The herbaceous layer is diverse and provides low to moderate cover. These wet shrublands are found on spring-fed slopes, slickrock canyon bottoms, intermittently flooded washes, at the base of cliffs, in alcoves of canyons, and terraces on flat to 30-60° slopes at elevations ranging from 1125 to 2409 m. Stands may be oriented to all aspects. Soils are rapidly drained sand and sandy loam. They are often above and isolated from a riparian zone, or may merge with riparian vegetation along perennial streams.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31267-{1B48BE93-9C24-400F-8F70-ED19D79BA2B8} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
