Name: Alnus rhombifolia / Celtis laevigata var. reticulata Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This riparian plant association is described from data collected in the Snake and Salmon river corridors, within the Blue Mountains ecoregional section. The association is described as occurring within a relatively discrete elevational band (900-2150 feet and 1400-2150 feet, respectively) in the deeply incised terrain of the Snake and Salmon river canyons. The plant association occurs on stable and unstable riparian substrates. The broad-leaved, deciduous forest stands are dominated by Alnus rhombifolia. Celtis laevigata var. reticulata (= Celtis reticulata) is consistently present. Prunus virginiana and Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa may also be associated. Associated understory shrub species include Cornus sericea, Ribes oxyacanthoides ssp. irriguum (= Ribes irriguum), Rosa woodsii, Philadelphus lewisii, Sambucus caerulea, Amelanchier alnifolia, and Frangula purshiana (= Rhamnus purshiana).
