Name: Cornus sericea / Galium triflorum Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This shrubland association occurs at moderate elevations ranging from western Wyoming throughout Idaho and possibly into Oregon, Montana, and Utah. The association occupies V-shaped canyons adjacent to high-gradient streams and rivers. Soils are usually poorly developed with some stands on a substrate of boulders or cobbles with few fines. <i>Cornus sericea</i> forms a scattered to dense overstory. Other tall shrubs may include <i>Alnus incana, Betula occidentalis</i>, and <i>Crataegus douglasii</i>. The diagnostic forbs <i>Maianthemum stellatum</i> and <i>Galium triflorum</i> are usually present with low cover. Other herbaceous species that may be present are <i>Angelica arguta, Actaea rubra</i>, and <i>Equisetum arvense</i>. Occasionally conifer saplings or scattered mature trees may be present in stands.
