Name: Alnus incana / Carex scopulorum var. prionophylla Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This minor, linear wetland appears around 1220 m (4000 feet) elevation in broad, low-gradient valleys with small meandering, incised channels in northeastern Washington. It is restricted to organic soils with a shallow water table. <i>Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia</i> thickets typically with more than 50% cover appear with only a few other tall shrubs, such as <i>Salix drummondiana</i>. Conifers (<i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> or <i>Picea engelmannii</i>) are often present but never with cover exceeding 5%. <i>Carex scopulorum var. prionophylla</i> dominates or codominates with <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i>. Few other species are present, although <i>Senecio triangularis</i> usually occurs. The high cover of <i>Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia</i> and <i>Carex scopulorum var. prionophylla</i> with few other shrubs distinguishes this from other <i>Alnus incana</i> types. This may be the wettest of all <i>Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia</i> types.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34425.CEGL000122 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
