Name: Salix drummondiana / Calamagrostis canadensis Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a widespread mountainous riparian association known from lakeshores, floodplains, riparian zones, and wet meadows at elevations ranging from 707 to 3110 m (2320-10,200 feet). This association occurs from Colorado to Montana west to Washington and most often occurs in valley bottom positions, ranging from relatively narrow montane valleys to wide glacial troughs. Stands can be long narrow strings along steep-gradient streams or wide willow shrublands. Soils are usually well-developed but poorly drained, dark-colored silty clay loams. These soils often have much organic material intermixed and overlie deposits of gravel and rocks. Soils can occasionally be well-drained, gravelly loamy sands. It is characterized by a dense canopy of <i>Salix drummondiana</i> and a thick undergrowth of <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i>. Stands are often associated with beaver activity.
