Name: Alnus incana / Calamagrostis canadensis Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is found in the Pecos Basin in north-central New Mexico, as well as in Colorado, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Preliminary data suggest that this type occurs on lower depositional bars along montane streams of moderate gradient (0.8%) at elevations of around 2620 m (8600 feet). Sites are probably flooded anywhere from yearly to every ten years. Soils are reported as loamy Mollic Fluvaquents, reflecting the grassy dominance. This type is characterized by an open canopy of <i>Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia</i>, and a grassy herbaceous layer dominated by <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> with <i>Glyceria striata</i> or <i>Glyceria striata</i> as well-represented to abundant associates. In the herbaceous layer an additional 22 native wetland indicators have been recorded for the type, of which the most abundant are <i>Carex microptera, Carex stipata, Equisetum arvense, Equisetum laevigatum, Heracleum maximum, Rudbeckia laciniata, Veratrum californicum</i>, and <i>Viola missouriensis</i>.
