Name: Alnus incana / Spiraea douglasii Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs in Washington, Oregon and California. This riparian tall-shrub (or small-tree) community is common in eastern Oregon at elevations of 670-1740 m (2200-5700 feet). Stands are found on a variety of riparian fluvial surfaces. Soil textures vary from loam to sandy loam grading into cobbles and gravels. Soils are well-drained, but remain wet-moist because of the proximity of water. The shrub canopy is dominated by <i>Alnus incana</i> and <i>Spiraea douglasii</i>. Forb cover is typified by <i>Maianthemum stellatum, Galium triflorum</i>, and <i>Achillea millefolium</i>. Important graminoids are <i>Carex angustata, Glyceria striata</i>, and <i>Carex disperma</i>. <i>Athyrium filix-femina</i> is also common.
