Name: Alnus rubra / Oxalis (oregana, trilliifolia) Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs in the southern Cascade foothills of Washington, including Mount Rainier and on the Olympic Peninsula, on relatively well-drained soils at lower elevations on riparian terraces, streambanks or floodplains. The canopy is dominated by <i>Alnus rubra</i>. <i>Picea sitchensis</i> or <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> are frequently in the overstory but with low cover. When present, the tall-shrub layer is dominated by <i>Acer circinatum</i>. <i>Rubus spectabilis</i> or <i>Ribes bracteosum</i> may be present but under 20% cover in aggregate. The understory is dominated by <i>Oxalis oregana</i> or <i>Oxalis trilliifolia</i>. <i>Polystichum munitum</i> can be codominant or dominant in the herb layer. Many other forbs and ferns, including <i>Athyrium filix-femina, Luzula fastigiata, Luzula parviflora, Tiarella trifoliata, Circaea alpina</i>, and <i>Tolmiea menziesii</i>, are frequently present to prominent. Grasses, such as <i>Elymus glaucus</i> and <i>Elymus hirsutus</i>, are present to codominant but never dominant or more abundant in aggregate than <i>Oxalis</i> spp.
