Name: Alnus oblongifolia / Salix irrorata Flooded Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is found in the Gila River watershed, Saliz Canyon, and probably elsewhere in the mountains of southwestern New Mexico. Limited data suggest that the type occurs at around 1600 m (5270 feet) elevation on cobbly but well-stabilized banks that are subject to frequent flooding. Soils are reported as unconsolidated riverwash. This association is characterized by a moderately closed canopy of <i>Alnus oblongifolia</i>, with an abundant understory of <i>Salix irrorata</i>. There can also be minor amounts of <i>Populus angustifolia</i> and <i>Acer negundo</i>, mostly as seedlings and saplings. The wetland indicators <i>Eleocharis palustris</i> and <i>Equisetum arvense</i> are common. The introduced <i>Agrostis stolonifera</i> can be well-represented.
