. Volume III Exhibit 5 Vegetation <br />COTTON W 00 D <br />The Cottonwood vegetation community is limited to the south-central portions of <br />Hubbard Creek at elevations below approximately 7,000 feet. Slopes are typically <br />nearly level to level reflecting an overall wetter soil moisture regime as compared to the <br />Douglas-fir and Spruce/Fir vegetation communities located adjacent to drainages. <br />Common tree species include narrow-leaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) and box- <br />elder (Acer negundo) with Douglas-fir, Englemann spruce, and juniper species <br />occurring on side-slopes under drier soil moisture conditions. Aspen may also be <br />present in topographic depressions or in deeper, more fertile soils. Understory shrub <br />species include those adapted to more moist substrates such as chokecherry, <br />raspberry (Rubus idaeus), and Woods rose. <br /> <br />• <br />TR~017 - 3 - 6100 <br />
