Name: Prosopis glandulosa - (Salix exigua, Salix lasiolepis) Wet Scrub Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This uncommon wet scrub association is found in spring-fed riparian areas in the Mojave Desert in Arizona, California and Nevada, and in the Colorado Desert and adjacent eastern edge of the Southern California Mountains and Valleys, in California. Vegetation is characterized by an open to intermittent scrub canopy (5-50% cover) of <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i> that is codominated by a tall-shrub layer (18-50% cover) composed of <i>Salix exigua, Salix lasiolepis</i>, or other <i>Salix</i> species. <i>Chilopsis linearis</i> may be present with low cover (not codominant). Other commonly associated shrubs include <i>Acacia greggii, Baccharis sergiloides, Ephedra nevadensis</i>, and <i>Phoradendron californicum</i>. Herbaceous cover is variable, ranging from 4-20% with a mix of species such as <i>Aristida purpurea</i>, and species of <i>Amsinckia, Carex, Eleocharis, Typha</i>, and <i>Vulpia</i>. Exotics species commonly present include <i>Bromus rubens, Cynodon dactylon</i>, and <i>Polypogon monspeliensis</i>. Stands occur in seasonally flooded riparian drainages typically within spring-fed canyons at low to mid elevations. Sites are on gentle to somewhat steep (2-25°) slopes with variable aspects at 580 to 1240 m elevation. Soils include clay loam and loamy sand and are derived from conglomerate, granite, and granodiorite.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:37534-{D77A3B4E-E36F-46A9-A233-F099675BEA88} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
