Name: Alnus rhombifolia / Rosa woodsii Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This 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 on very unstable stream channels within an elevational band of 275-610 m (900-2000 feet), in the deeply incised terrain of the Snake River Canyon. This is a depauperate forest association, dominated by the broad-leaved, deciduous tree <i>Alnus rhombifolia</i>. The canopy is not as dense as other <i>Alnus rhombifolia</i> associations in this region. The shrub layer, also broad-leaved deciduous, is dominated by <i>Rosa woodsii</i>. No other tall-shrub species are present. The herbaceous component of this association is characterized by many species indicative of disturbance. No other information is available on species composition.
