Name: Alnus incana / Ribes (inerme, hudsonianum, lacustre) Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is known from western Wyoming to eastern Oregon at moderate to high elevations (3800-6700 feet). The community occupies narrow V-shaped valleys as stringers along moderate- to high-gradient perennial streams. Stands are flooded in the spring, and water tables drop to 50 cm below the surface through the growing season. Alnus incana, Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata (= Alnus sinuata), or Cornus sericea create a dense overstory that may form a canopy over stream channels. The lower shrub stratum is mostly dominated by Ribes hudsonianum, though Ribes inerme and Ribes lacustre may also be present. Herbaceous cover is variable.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27104.ALNUSINCANARIBE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
