Name: Ribes lacustre - Ribes hudsonianum / Cinna latifolia Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This is a riparian, deciduous shrubland found on small to medium-sized streams in mid elevations in the Blue Mountains of Oregon and southeastern Washington. It occurs in the northern half of the Blue Mountains, mostly above the local elevational range of Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata. Valley types are very narrow and V-shaped with moderately steep to very steep side slopes, with valley gradients from moderately steep to very steep. It occurs on floodplains, streambanks, and gravel bars, with boulder, cobble, and gravel predominant. Streams are 0.5-5 m wide with debris affecting 10-50% of the active channel. The soil remains relatively wet throughout the growing season with the sites often flooded during peak runoff. Ribes species form a scattered canopy over a rich mixture of graminoids and wet forbs. Cinna latifolia is generally abundant and is about 1 m tall. Wet forbs include Saxifraga odontoloma (= Saxifraga arguta), Urtica dioica, Claytonia cordifolia (= Montia cordifolia), Aconitum columbianum, Mitella pentandra, and Heracleum maximum (= Heracleum lanatum). Average height of the herbaceous layer is 53 cm (ranging from 30-79 cm).  Accession Code: VB.CC.24472.RIBESLACUSTRERI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
