Name: Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa - Alnus rhombifolia Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a deciduous broad-leaved forest association found in the lower <i>Quercus garryana</i> zone or shrub-steppe zone in eastern Washington and Oregon. It is a riparian community typically found in narrow canyons with some floodplain development. The tree layer is characterized by an open layer of <i>Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa</i> over a denser layer of <i>Alnus rhombifolia</i>. The tree canopy is mostly closed. The undergrowth is poorly documented and maybe highly variable displaying tall-shrub to herbaceous dominance. This is an existing vegetation type that merges into more strict potential types indicated by <i>Alnus rhombifolia</i>.
