Name: Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa - Alnus rhombifolia Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a deciduous broad-leaved forest association found in the lower Quercus garryana zone or shrub-steppe zone in eastern Washington and Oregon. It is a riparian community typically found in narrow canyons with some floodplain development. The tree layer is characterized by an open layer of Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa over a denser layer of Alnus rhombifolia. The tree canopy is mostly closed. The undergrowth is poorly documented and maybe highly variable displaying tall-shrub to herbaceous dominance. This is an existing vegetation type that merges into more strict potential types indicated by Alnus rhombifolia.
