Name: Phoenix dactylifera - Washingtonia filifera Ruderal Riparian Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal woodland alliance forms an intermittent to continuous tree canopy with an open to intermittent shrub understory. <i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> or <i>Washingtonia filifera</i> is dominant in localized patches along alkali springs and stream areas. <i>Pluchea sericea</i> is sometimes present in the shrub layer. Stands occurring in the Mojave Desert and Great Basin are semi-natural, where palms are naturalizing in spring and stream areas from cultural plantings. It is found primarily on stream bottoms and lowslope springs at variable aspects. Soils are clay derived from a variety of substrates including alluvium, limestone, and sandstone. Elevations range from approximately 2 to 500 m. This alliance was described using incomplete data and requires further sampling.
