Name: Populus deltoides / Equisetum laevigatum Flooded Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community is found along low-gradient streams at elevations between 1780 and 1920 m (5825-6300 feet) in the Rio Grande and Pecos River basins in north-central New Mexico and probably elsewhere in northern New Mexico. Sites typically are associated with island bars or sidebars that flood every 5 to 25 years (discharge ratios range from 2.0 to 3.2). It is also known to occur in swales or shallow valley depressions that may not necessarily be directly associated with a river channel, but rather are watered from springs. Soils are relatively deep, moist, sandy to coarse-loamy Entisols (Aeric Fluvaquents, Oxyaquic Ustifluvents, and Typic Endoaquents). Indications of wetness (hydric) conditions such as gray mottles are usually evident in the first 50 cm. This community is characterized by a moderately open to closed canopy of young and mature <i>Populus deltoides</i>. <i>Salix exigua</i> is present, but low in cover, along with other scattered shrubs. The herbaceous understory is well-represented and dominated by <i>Equisetum</i> spp., along with several other wetland indicators that include <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> or <i>Schoenoplectus acutus, Eleocharis palustris, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Juncus saximontanus</i>, and <i>Juncus tenuis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34622-{F4C83C8E-D1DD-4A5D-A541-065EABE4D93C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
