CSG051 Temperate Tree Developed Wetland Vegetation Cultural Subgroup

Type Concept Sentence: Planted and escaped ornamental trees found in wet environments such as riparian areas, lakeshores and wetland settings throughout the western U.S.


Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Temperate Tree Developed Wetland Vegetation Cultural Subgroup

Colloquial Name: Temperate Tree Developed Wetland Vegetation

Hierarchy Level:  Cultural Subgroup

Type Concept: This type includes stands of abandoned planted non-native trees or escaped stands. Some species may be native to other parts of the U.S., but are not native in the West. These species include Populus deltoides (in areas where Populus balsamifera is the native cottonwood), Populus alba, Robinia pseudoacacia, and other escapees that require a moist setting to survive in the arid western U.S. They may be in yards of abandoned houses or along roadsides, lakeshores, canyon bottoms and riparian areas, usually not too far from settlements and towns.
