Name: Populus angustifolia Sand Dune Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This plant association consists of stands of <i>Populus angustifolia</i> atop sand dunes in the San Luis Valley of south-central Colorado at 2300 m elevation. Stands occur in an unusual environmental setting on braided, sandy streams adjacent to wind-driven, actively moving sand dunes. <i>Populus angustifolia</i> occurs on ridges of the sand dunes and increases in age with distance from the active stream channel. Stands consist of mature and young cottonwoods with no shrub or herbaceous plants in the understory.
