Description: This plant association is found on low-elevation floodplains of southeastern Alaska. It represents the most frequently disturbed portion of the riparian zone on well-drained undifferentiated alluvium. The stands occur below 60 m (200 feet) elevation. It has a relatively closed canopy averaging 55% cover. Picea sitchensis and Alnus rubra dominate the overstory, and Tsuga heterophylla is a common associate. Overstory height averages 45 m (148 feet) tall. The understory shrub layer is dominated by Rubus spectabilis, and Oplopanax horridus (= Echinopanax horridus) and Ribes bracteosum are also common.
