Name: Alnus rubra / Petasites frigidus Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This red alder forest of western Washington and Oregon has a canopy dominated by <i>Alnus rubra</i> which is sometimes only at shrub height due to its early-successional status. The understory is dominated by <i>Petasites frigidus</i> although other forbs are typically present. Shrubs (other than shrub-height alder) are under 20% cover, if present. This association occurs on well-drained soils at lower to middle elevations on riparian floodplains, bars, or low-lying streambanks. These sites are frequently flooded and/or this community occurs as an early-successional vegetation type.
