Name: Acer macrophyllum / Rubus spectabilis Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This low-elevation to foothill association appears mostly on riparian floodplains, terraces or moist soils (seeps). It can occur on moist upland sites as early-seral vegetation. This closed broadleaf forest is dominated by <i>Acer macrophyllum</i> with occasional <i>Alnus rubra</i>. <i>Picea sitchensis, Tsuga heterophylla</i>, and <i>Thuja plicata</i> can be present to prominent but in aggregate never exceeds broadleaf tree cover. <i>Rubus spectabilis</i> and/or <i>Ribes bracteosum</i> dominates the shrub understory with few other shrub species present. However, <i>Acer circinatum</i> can form an upper tall-shrub layer. <i>Polystichum munitum</i> and <i>Tolmiea menziesii</i> can be prominent to dominant in the herb layer. <i>Claytonia sibirica, Circaea alpina, Carex deweyana</i>, and <i>Melica subulata</i> are other frequent herbs. This association occurs in the Cascade Range and Olympic Mountains.
