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 (275-655 m [900-2150 feet] and 430-655 m [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 <i>Alnus rhombifolia</i>. <i>Celtis laevigata var. reticulata (= Celtis reticulata)</i> is consistently present. <i>Prunus virginiana</i> and <i>Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa</i> may also be associated. Associated understory shrub species include <i>Cornus sericea, Ribes oxyacanthoides ssp. irriguum (= Ribes irriguum), Rosa woodsii, Philadelphus lewisii, Sambucus caerulea, Amelanchier alnifolia</i>, and <i>Frangula purshiana (= Rhamnus purshiana)</i>.
