Name: Alnus rubra / Polystichum munitum Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: [From Crawford et al. (2009)]: This association is described from the Puget Lowlands, Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. It occurs on upland slopes (varying steepness) usually with mesic, well-drained soils. It is not associated with riparian landforms, rather it is result of succession after fires, logging, landslides or slope failures. This forest association is dominated by <i>Alnus rubra</i>. The herb layer is always dominated by <i>Polystichum munitum</i>. Other frequently occurring species include <i>Claytonia sibirica, Athyrium filix-femina, Anaphalis margaritacea</i>, and <i>Tellima grandiflora</i>. If present, a well-developed shrub layer is usually dominated by <i>Rubus spectabilis</i>.
