Name: Salix irrorata / Carex rostrata Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is found in the Upper Mimbres River watershed and upper Rio Grande in southwestern and north-central New Mexico, respectively. Preliminary data suggest that this type occurs on narrow depositional bars along high-gradient mountain streams at elevations ranging from 1980 to 2260 m (6500-7400 feet). These sites are probably annually flooded, and hence soils are relatively wet (wetness ranks of 2) and have been reported as sandy-skeletal, Typic Fluvaquents and riverwash. <i>Salix irrorata</i> is well-represented to abundant, while other shrubs are few and scattered. <i>Populus angustifolia</i> or <i>Populus deltoides</i> regeneration is usually present. The undergrowth is dominated by <i>Carex rostrata</i> along with other native graminoid wetland indicators such as <i>Carex microptera, Elymus trachycaulus, Glyceria striata</i>, and <i>Juncus longistylis</i>. Forbs are diverse and variable; 41 have been recorded for the type, 30 of which are native. Common wetland forbs include <i>Epilobium ciliatum, Equisetum arvense, Equisetum laevigatum, Lycopus americanus, Mentha arvensis, Mimulus guttatus, Prunella vulgaris</i>, and <i>Rudbeckia laciniata</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34638-{3F640E44-C0BC-4D7C-8499-0E8B8AF00670} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
