Name: Juglans microcarpa Wet Scrub Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance comprises riparian shrublands with <i>Juglans microcarpa</i> as a dominant. Other woody species can include <i>Brickellia laciniata, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Fallugia paradoxa, Platanus occidentalis, Quercus</i> spp., <i>Salix gooddingii, Salix nigra</i>, and <i>Ungnadia speciosa</i>. This alliance is found primarily along intermittently to temporarily flooded low-elevation (below 1500 m) streambeds and stream margins in desert canyons and valleys of Texas, New Mexico and Coahuila, Mexico. Stream gradients are gentle. The headwaters of these streams are in montane areas, and even when the streambed is dry, it is usually subirrigated. Following monsoonal rains, the streambed can be shallowly inundated for several weeks at a time.
