CEGL005962 Populus angustifolia / Forestiera pubescens Riparian Woodland
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Narrowleaf Cottonwood / Stretchberry Riparian Woodland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is found in the Rio Chama River watershed in northern New Mexico. Preliminary data indicate this type is found on infrequently flooded riverbars (10-year recurrence interval). Soils are coarse-loamy Oxyaquic Ustifluvents which are moist at about 0.5 m depth or within the rooting zone. Young Populus angustifolia form an open canopy with Juniperus monosperma in the subcanopy. Shrubs are well-represented to abundant, and Forestiera pubescens var. pubescens is diagnostic. Upland grasses tend to dominate the herbaceous layer and include Bouteloua hirsuta, Pascopyrum smithii, and Sporobolus airoides. The only native wetland indicator recorded for the type is Equisetum laevigatum. This type may be related to Populus angustifolia - Juniperus scopulorum / Sporobolus cryptandrus CT (New Mexico state type).
