Name: Alnus incana / Calamagrostis canadensis Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Preliminary data suggest that this type occurs on lower depositional bars along montane streams of moderate gradient (0.8%) at elevations of around 2620 m (8600 feet). Sites are probably flooded anywhere from yearly to every ten years. Soils are reported as loamy Mollic Fluvaquents, reflecting the grassy dominance. This type is characterized by an open canopy of Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia, and a grassy herbaceous layer dominated by Calamagrostis canadensis with Glyceria striata (= Glyceria elata) or Glyceria striata as well-represented to abundant associates. In the herbaceous layer an additional 22 native wetland indicators have been recorded for the type, of which the most abundant are Carex microptera, Carex stipata, Equisetum arvense, Equisetum laevigatum, Heracleum maximum, Rudbeckia laciniata, Veratrum californicum, and Viola missouriensis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25122.ALNUSINCANACALA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
