Name: Salix gooddingii / Salix exigua Riparian Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This riparian woodland is known primarily from the Colorado Plateau and is characterized by tall <i>Salix gooddingii</i> trees with a tall-shrub understory dominated by <i>Salix exigua</i>. Other woody species present may include <i>Forestiera pubescens, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata</i>, and non-native <i>Tamarix</i> spp. The herbaceous undergrowth includes graminoid species such as <i>Eleocharis rostellata, Equisetum laevigatum, Juncus arcticus</i>, and <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, and native forbs such as <i>Ambrosia acanthicarpa, Salsola tragus</i>, and <i>Xanthium strumarium</i>. Sites are gently sloping alluvial terraces, sandy wash bottoms, canyon bottom drainage channels or streams, and narrow slickrock canyons where the water table generally remains within the rooting zone of the trees throughout the growing season, and are known to occur from 1098 to 1835 m in elevation.
