Name: Betula occidentalis - Celtis laevigata var. reticulata Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a unique association described from three plots in Hells Canyon, and is known from other river canyons in the inland Pacific Northwest. Stands occur between 408 and 451 m (1340-1480 feet) elevation, generally along major rivers or in broad valleys, at the base of canyon walls near stream channels, where the shrublands follow seeps or seasonal draws upslope. These shrublands are characterized by a very diverse, tall-shrub layer, with <i>Betula occidentalis</i> (averaging 50% cover), <i>Philadelphus lewisii, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Sambucus nigra ssp. cerulea</i>, and <i>Prunus virginiana</i> making up most of the fairly dense shrub cover. Other shrubs are generally not very important. Forb and grass cover is low, although <i>Bromus tectorum</i> and <i>Anthriscus caucalis</i> are usually found in disturbed sites. Native understory species include <i>Galium aparine, Urtica dioica, Tonella floribunda</i>, and <i>Heracleum maximum</i>.
