Description: In Colorado, this common, facultative riparian forest has a wide elevational range, 2500-3700 m. Stands occur along very steep streams where the riparian area is narrow and dominated by species of the surrounding forest. These forests are heavily shaded with a very open shrub layer of just a few individuals. Abies lasiocarpa and Picea engelmannii dominate the dense tree canopy, while any of the following four Ribes species may be present the shrub layer: Ribes inerme, Ribes lacustre, Ribes montigenum, or Ribes wolfii.
