Name: Salix pulchra - Eriophorum angustifolium Arctic Wet Shrubland Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This concept describes gently sloping water tracks that form linear drainage networks in the foothills of northern Alaska. Water track wetlands conduct surface water from seasonal thaw and summer rainfall events. In these wetland features, runoff is confined to near surface due to shallow permafrost. Low-shrub wetlands characterize vegetation in well-developed water tracks. The dominant vegetation community is <i>Salix pulchra / Eriophorum angustifolium</i>. Important wetland sedges include <i>Carex aquatilis</i> and <i>Eriophorum russeolum</i>. Important mosses include <i>Calliergon stramineum, Sphagnum girgensohnii</i>, and <i>Sphagnum warnstorfii</i>.
