Name: Alnus incana / Ribes (inerme, hudsonianum, lacustre) Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is known from western Wyoming to eastern Oregon at moderate to high elevations of 1160-2045 m (3800-6700 feet). The community occupies narrow V-shaped valleys as stringers along moderate- to high-gradient perennial streams. Stands are flooded in the spring, and water tables drop to 50 cm below the surface through the growing season. <i>Alnus incana, Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata</i>, or <i>Cornus sericea</i> create a dense overstory that may form a canopy over stream channels. The lower shrub stratum is mostly dominated by <i>Ribes hudsonianum</i>, though <i>Ribes inerme</i> and <i>Ribes lacustre</i> may also be present. Herbaceous cover is variable.
