Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Narrowleaf Willow / False Quackgrass Wet Shrubland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This is a lowland riparian shrubland association known from the middle and upper Rio Grande watershed in north-central New Mexico. This type is associated with low-gradient rivers at elevations around 1830 m (6000 feet). Stands occur on depositional sidebars or island bars that are frequently flooded (annually). Soils have been reported as loamy and sandy-skeletal Aeric Fluvaquents that are normally wet within 0.5 m of the surface. This association is characterized by moderate to dense canopies of Salix exigua. The understory is grassy and dominated by abundant Elymus x pseudorepens. An additional nine wetland indicators have been recorded for the type: Carex pellita, Muhlenbergia racemosa, Argentina anserina, Boehmeria cylindrica, Equisetum arvense, Equisetum laevigatum, Lycopus asper, Oenothera elata ssp. hirsutissima, and Rumex verticillatus.
