Name: Populus fremontii / Tamarix sp. Ruderal Riparian Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal riparian community is likely to be widespread throughout the range of <i>Populus fremontii</i> within the southwestern United States. This deciduous woodland is characterized by a sparse to open canopy of <i>Populus fremontii</i> with an open to very dense tall-shrub layer of <i>Tamarix chinensis</i>. Few other shrubs attain substantial cover due to the competitive nature of <i>Tamarix chinensis</i>, but they may include <i>Forestiera pubescens, Salix exigua</i>, and <i>Ericameria nauseosa</i>. Herbaceous cover is very sparse and may include <i>Artemisia dracunculus, Acroptilon repens, Distichlis spicata, Distichlis spicata, Oxytenia acerosa</i>, and <i>Sporobolus airoides</i>. Stands occur in linear patches on streambanks and terraces, channel beds and river islands at elevations ranging from 1169-1536 m. Slopes are flat to gentle (not exceeding 3% grade), and substrates are composed of new alluvium.
