Name: Alnus rubra / Oplopanax horridus - Rubus spectabilis Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs in western Washington at lower elevations on riparian floodplains, terraces, and toeslopes. Sites are somewhat poorly drained, usually due to restrictive soil layers perching moving water to create subirrigation. The canopy is dominated by <i>Alnus rubra</i>. The understory is dominated or codominated by <i>Oplopanax horridus</i>, which always occupies over 10% cover. <i>Rubus spectabilis</i> and/or <i>Ribes bracteosum</i> often codominate in the shrub layer. A diverse and often abundant herbaceous layer is typical. <i>Athyrium filix-femina, Gymnocarpium dryopteris, Oxalis oregana</i>, and <i>Tolmiea menziesii</i> are among the many herbaceous species that are frequently abundant in the understory.
