CEGL005955 Juglans major - Celtis laevigata var. reticulata / Brickellia californica Flooded Forest
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Arizona Walnut - Netleaf Hackberry / California Brickellbush Flooded Forest
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is found in the Gila and Pecos river basins and probably elsewhere in southern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. This type is known from high alluvial terraces at elevations from 1000 to 1680 m (3240-5520 feet). Soils have been described as sandy without a rocky matrix and can exhibit some moderate development on the older terraces (Fluventic Ustochrepts and Ustipassaments). Juglans major dominates the overstory with Celtis laevigata var. reticulata occurring as a codominant or in the subcanopy (sometimes forming shrub-like thickets). This type tends to have a closed canopy, especially in older stands. Brickellia californica is diagnostic and common in the shrub layer. Herbaceous diversity is only moderate (25 species have been recorded for the type), variable, and mostly facultative upland species reflecting the drier site conditions.
