This type is known from around 990 m (3250 feet) along ponded reaches of the Black River in southeastern New Mexico. It is characterized by an open canopy of Salix gooddingii overhanging the banks of low-gradient streams lined with graminoids that include Muhlenbergia rigens, Andropogon glomeratus, Eleocharis palustris, and Muhlenbergia asperifolia. Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense is prevalent both along the banks and in the channel. Baccharis salicifolia is well-represented in the shrub layer. |

This subalpine forest association is known from the northern Rocky Mountains from northwestern Montana and northern Idaho. It is occurs on relatively cold and mesic sites ranging from 1500 to 2200 m (4900-7200 feet), but may extend down to 915 m (3000 feet) in frost pockets. Sites at lower elevation and latitude are typically found on sheltered, steep, northerly aspects. Higher elevation sites also occur on gentler slopes with eastern and more westerly aspects. The vegetation is characterized by an overstory tree canopy dominated by <i>Pinus contorta</i> with <i>Menziesia ferruginea</i> prominent in the understory. The tree subcanopy may be dominated by <i>Picea engelmannii</i> with <i>Pinus albicaulis</i> or <i>Populus tremuloides</i> present. <i>Menziesia ferruginea</i> is important (10% or more cover) in the short-shrub layer. <i>Vaccinium membranaceum, Vaccinium myrtillus</i>, or <i>Vaccinium scoparium</i> (in drier and higher elevation sites) occupies the dwarf-shrub layer. The sparse to moderately dense herbaceous layer is composed of a variety of forbs. |

This inland peninsular scrub consists of a low-statured, emergent Pinus clausa canopy over a dense shrub stratum. Typical shrub layer components include evergreen scrub oaks (Quercus myrtifolia, Quercus chapmanii, Quercus geminata, Quercus inopina). The herb layer is generally sparse and frequently dominated by lichens (Cladonia leporina, Cladonia prostrata, Cladina evansii, and Cladina subtenuis). The light-colored sandy soils are extremely well-drained and infertile. This is an interior scrub association, not restricted to coastal situations. |

This association is found in the Upper Pecos watershed of northern New Mexico and is probably found elsewhere throughout the range of the Alliance. Preliminary data suggest that this type occurs on depositional side bars and terraces along streams with moderate entrenchment and stream gradients between 1.2 and 1.5%. This is a lower montane type with elevations estimated to range from 1650 to 1980 m (5400-6500 feet). The soils are reported as loamy to sandy loam in the surface layers with significant cobbles below 30 cm (loamy skeletal Typic Fluvaquent). This type is characterized by an open canopy of <i>Acer negundo</i> with a diverse shrub layer dominated by <i>Salix exigua</i>. Other shrubs include <i>Salix lutea, Rosa woodsii, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and <i>Gutierrezia sarothrae</i>. The herbaceous layer understory is well-represented and includes <i>Bromus inermis, Bromus japonicus</i>, and <i>Lolium pratense (= Festuca pratensis)</i>. |
