Summers are warm to hot with very little precipitation. The occurrences are generally patchy along streams, but in some locations line the floodplain. The canopy is locally dominated by Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa, while Alnus rhombifolia can codominate in places where the valleys are broad enough for more extensive floodplains. Cicuta douglasii is the dominant forb in the understory. No other information is available on the species composition of this type.
