Name: Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa / Mixed Herbs Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This cold-deciduous riparian forest occurs in lower mountains and foothills at 610 to 2013 m (2000-6591 feet) elevation, on alluvial terraces and floodplains of major and minor rivers and streams. Soils are poorly developed, loamy to cobbly Entisols. It is thought to be a grazing-induced type; the trees are mature and the herbaceous layer predominantly dominated by non-native graminoid species. The canopy cover is <i>Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa (= Populus trichocarpa)</i> with 30-60% cover. There are very few shrubs and, if present, do not form a stratum layer. The herbaceous layer is dominated by either non-native graminoids or increaser species such as <i>Phleum pratense, Poa pratensis, Bromus vulgaris</i>, and <i>Elymus glaucus</i>. Forbs are in low abundance and are also dominated by increaser species.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32980.CEGL000675 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
