Name: A.999
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Communities within this cold-deciduous, seasonally flooded shrubland alliance seldom occur more than 3 km from saltwater, often in stabilized dunes just behind the open beach. They are limited to the wetter areas where water stands to some extent during the year on deflation (wind erosion) plains and swales. These associations are found in habitats that are seasonally flooded and saturated with freshwater. Information on soils was not available. They are dominated by ~Salix hookeriana$. Other codominant shrubs can include ~Populus balsamifera, Populus fremontii$, and ~Alnus rubra$. The understory is sparse but can include ~Rubus ursinus, Baccharis pilularis$, and ~Morella californica (= Myrica californica)$. Adjacent upslope communities typically are ~Picea sitchensis$ with ~Cornus sericea$.
