Name: Spiraea douglasii Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: According to Christy (2004), this association is a shrub swamp found in riparian zones, prairies, and fens from northern California to southeastern Alaska. Stands may be extensive along floodplains and some have no doubt developed on abandoned pasture land and old prairie. Plots are highly variable and indicate that numerous phases are present that need further study. The association in northwestern Oregon more-or-less monotypic and common at lower elevations. Trees are absent or peripheral. The shrub layer is dominated by <i>Spiraea douglasii</i> with an average cover of 95% and is so dense that the herb layer is nearly nonexistent. Changes in hydrology may enhance dense stands. More northerly examples may contain <i>Myrica gale</i> and <i>Ledum glandulosum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30038-{891BD310-D0B7-496E-BF7F-7E99318CEEE3} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
