		Dwarf willows are widely distributed over the ridges, and the tall willows grow along the streams and in swales between the spur ridges, sometimes far up the slopes where the sheep can feed upon them without too much danger from wolves.
		Because willow is eaten so much during the early winter, I expected a higher representation in the winter stomachs, but as the snow deepens in the swales, willow probably is not so readily available.
		Willows are not now overutilized, although in years past, when sheep were more abundant, patches on the ridges were killed off by overbrowsing.

	Ecoregions- vegetation
		The typical vegetation of this ecodistrict is taiga; open stands of white spruce on the southern exposures of the lower slopes and foothills, and feltleaf willow, white spruce, and balsam poplar (cottonwood) along streams.
		The striking pattern of the streams and drainageways is accentuated by the contrast between the natural colours of the dark green sedge and willow vegetation that follows them and the lighter yellow-brown and orange of the tussock/low shrub tundra that occurs between them.
		Willows (Salix pulchra, Salix glauca and others) also dominate stream borders and sedges may be abundant in poorly drained lowland areas around stream channels.

		The dwarf alpine willow is a great selection for a groundcover willow.
		Most willows grow well in moist to even wet locations but the species that have hairy or tomentose leaves on both sides prefer drier locations.
		These dwarf alpine types thrive on drier sites and are best suited for rock gardens or patio gardens, which more closely resemble their natural sites.

		Shrub dogwoods, alders, and willows, (Banker's dwarf willow, Streamco purpleosier willow, fl willow, sandbar willow, meadow willow, heart-leaved willow, and Ward's willow), can be put into the soil either as cuttings or as nursery-grown seedlings.
		It is important to remember that plant cuttings must be used during the dormant season (approximately November to March in Georgia), and seedlings should be planted in early spring or late fall.
		Planting willows harvested from a nearby area with soil and moisture conditions similar to the problem area will help increase their survival.

	Mycorrhizal Citations
		Salix reinii, an alpine dwarf willow, is the pioneer ECM plant at this research site, and many ECM fungi have colonized established willow shrubs.
		Molecular identification showed that almost all of the ECM fungi on transplanted seedlings of the three plant species were of the same species as those observed on the established willow shrubs.
		These results indicate that ECM fungi associated with established willow shrubs are essential in facilitating seedling establishment of successional plant species in the early successional volcanic desert.
