Name: Ribes lacustre - Ribes hudsonianum / Glyceria striata Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a riparian, deciduous shrubland occurring in small patches throughout the southern and central portions of the Blue Mountains and the eastern Cascades in Oregon. It is found on small to medium-sized streams in mid elevations in the mountains. Sites include floodplains and streambanks at moderate to moderately high elevations mostly above the local elevational range of mountain alder. Valleys are very narrow and V- or trough-shaped with very high gradients and gentle to moderately steep side slopes. <i>Ribes lacustre</i> and <i>Ribes hudsonianum</i> (averaging over 1 m in height) form a scattered to dense canopy over <i>Glyceria striata (= Glyceria elata)</i> and a variety of mesic forbs including <i>Galium triflorum, Streptopus amplexifolius, Circaea alpina, Aconitum columbianum, Mitella pentandra</i>, and <i>Saxifraga odontoloma (= Saxifraga arguta)</i>. Average height of the herbaceous vegetation is 37 cm (ranging from 20-51 cm). It is distinguished from similar shrublands by the saturated soils and dense understory of <i>Glyceria striata</i>.
