Name: Alnus rubra / Rubus parviflorus Riparian Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This red alder forest of Washington and Oregon has a canopy dominated by <i>Alnus rubra</i> which is sometimes only at shrub height due to early-successional status. <i>Rubus parviflorus</i> dominates the understory often with low cover of <i>Rubus spectabilis</i>. <i>Stachys chamissonis var. cooleyae</i> is most constant and prominent of the numerous herbaceous species which may occur in this association. The ground is typically covered by mosses and exposed soil. This association is described from the west Cascades but may occur elsewhere in lowland western Washington. It occurs at low elevations on riparian floodplains, terraces, streambanks, and toeslopes. This association initiates following high flow events and represents vegetation development without subsequent disturbance.
