Name: Salix interior Wet Shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance is found in the Great Plains along streams and rivers. Shrubs dominate the alliance. Depending on time since the last major disturbance (usually flooding), the shrubs can be short to tall (0-4 m). <i>Salix interior</i> is the dominant shrub, but other shrubs or saplings are common, including <i>Cornus sericea, Populus deltoides, Salix amygdaloides, Salix eriocephala, Salix lutea</i>, and <i>Salix nigra</i> (in the east). The understory is usually moderate to lush but can be sparse if subject to a recent major flood. The herbaceous layer is typically dominated by mid and tall graminoids such as <i>Carex</i> spp., <i>Pascopyrum smithii, Panicum virgatum, Spartina pectinata</i>, and <i>Schoenoplectus</i> spp. (in wetter areas). Other common herbaceous species include <i>Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Equisetum hyemale, Polygonum</i> spp., and <i>Xanthium strumarium</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38809-{E3615675-A400-4E9B-8652-01CC20E4D358} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
