Name: Salix alaxensis - Salix barclayi - Salix bebbiana Upland Willow Thicket Shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Stands are dominated by <i>Salix alaxensis, Salix barclayi, Salix bebbiana</i>, and others. If alder is present, it is less than 25% of the willow cover. It occurs on flat to steep slopes (0-50°) at low to mid elevations (1-1000 m) in valleys, hills and mountains of the Aleutian Islands; in southeastern Alaska, it occurs on mountain sideslopes from sea level to treeline where slopes are steep enough to produce frequent snowslides preventing forest development. It also is found just above treeline and below the alpine throughout the maritime region of Alaska and British Columbia. Soils are typically mesic, well-drained, shallow, and stony, can be ash-covered, and underlain by colluvium, glacial drift, till or residuum. Precipitation is abundant, and these shrublands are mesic to wet. Total low- and tall-shrub cover is generally greater than 25%.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39150-{503953F1-CBA4-4428-8B3B-96B1324CABB4} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
