Name: Populus deltoides / Carex nebrascensis Flooded Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is found in the Rio Grande watershed in north-central New Mexico (Embudo River) and probably elsewhere in northern New Mexico. It is known to occur at about 1760 m (5850 feet) elevation on small riverbars that are occasionally flooded (estimated two-year recurrence interval). Soils have wetness (hydric) indicators in the form of mottles within 50 cm of the surface and are classified as Aquic Ustifluvents. This mesic cottonwood type is characterized by a moderately closed canopy of <i>Populus deltoides</i>, with a subcanopy of scattered <i>Salix gooddingii</i>. The shrub layer is low in cover with an occasional <i>Salix exigua</i> and <i>Forestiera pubescens var. pubescens</i>, along with woody vines such as <i>Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i> and <i>Vitis arizonica</i>. The herbaceous understory is dominated by wetland indicator species such as <i>Carex nebrascensis, Equisetum laevigatum</i>, and <i>Distichlis spicata</i>, but it may also include <i>Poa pratensis, Elymus canadensis, Bromus inermis</i>, and <i>Apocynum cannabinum</i>.
