Name: Salix sitchensis / Equisetum arvense - Petasites frigidus Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This riparian association occurs in western Washington at low to montane elevations on floodplains or low terraces. These sites are probably frequently flooded by overbank riverine flooding, and have coarse-textured soils (gravelly and/or sandy). It is most often found along larger streams or rivers with well-developed floodplains. The well-developed, tall-shrub layer is dominated by <i>Salix sitchensis</i>. Young <i>Alnus rubra</i> can be present to codominant or <i>Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa</i> is often present. Small amounts of <i>Rubus spectabilis</i> are usually present. The herbaceous layer varies from rather sparse to moderately dense. <i>Equisetum arvense</i> and/or <i>Petasites frigidus</i> are usually present. A variety of other herbs may be present.
