Name: Cornus sericea / Galium triflorum Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This shrubland association occurs at moderate elevations ranging from western Wyoming throughout Idaho and possibly into Oregon, Montana, and Utah. The association occupies V-shaped canyons adjacent to high-gradient streams and rivers. Soils are usually poorly developed with some stands on a substrate of boulders or cobbles with few fines. Cornus sericea forms a scattered to dense overstory. Other tall shrubs may include Alnus incana, Betula occidentalis, and Crataegus douglasii. The diagnostic forbs Maianthemum stellatum and Galium triflorum are usually present with low cover. Other herbaceous species that may be present are Angelica arguta, Actaea rubra, and Equisetum arvense. Occasionally conifer saplings or scattered mature trees may be present in stands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23832.CORNUSSERICEAGA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
