Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Narrowleaf Willow - Mule-fat Wet Shrubland
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is found in the middle Rio Grande watershed in central New Mexico. Preliminary data suggest that this type is located on frequently flooded sandy sidebars at elevations around 1400 m (4600 feet). Soils are reported as Typic Psammaquents. Salix exigua and Baccharis salicifolia dominate a dense shrub layer (>80% cover) with a scattering of Populus spp. regeneration. In this strongly shrub-dominated type, graminoids and forbs can be well-represented but not abundant. Native wetland indicators recorded for the type include Cyperus esculentus, Juncus torreyi, Cicuta douglasii, and Euthamia occidentalis.
