Name: Ribes lacustre - Ribes hudsonianum / Cinna latifolia Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a riparian, deciduous shrubland found on small to medium-sized streams in mid elevations in the Blue Mountains of Oregon and southeastern Washington. It occurs in the northern half of the Blue Mountains, mostly above the local elevational range of <i>Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata</i>. Valley types are very narrow and V-shaped with moderately steep to very steep side slopes, with valley gradients from moderately steep to very steep. It occurs on floodplains, streambanks, and gravel bars, with boulder, cobble, and gravel predominant. Streams are 0.5-5 m wide with debris affecting 10-50% of the active channel. The soil remains relatively wet throughout the growing season with the sites often flooded during peak runoff. <i>Ribes</i> species form a scattered canopy over a rich mixture of graminoids and wet forbs. <i>Cinna latifolia</i> is generally abundant and is about 1 m tall. Wet forbs include <i>Saxifraga odontoloma, Urtica dioica, Claytonia cordifolia, Aconitum columbianum, Mitella pentandra</i>, and <i>Heracleum maximum</i>. Average height of the herbaceous layer is 53 cm (ranging from 30-79 cm).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32327-{DE504C23-C714-487B-831E-96D33C1899E5} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
