Name: Rubus spectabilis Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shrubland association is currently only known from Point Reyes National Seashore in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This association occurs on gentle slopes on the margins of wetlands. Soils range from coarse, loamy sands derived from granite to medium clay loam derived from marine sediments. Stands occur on the Point Reyes Peninsula along low drainages, seeps, and swales usually within 1-2 km of the coast. Stands are most often adjacent to stands of <i>Salix lasiolepis, Carex obnupta, Scirpus microcarpus</i>, and <i>Juncus effusus var. brunneus</i>. This association includes stands dominated by <i>Rubus spectabilis</i> with <i>Stachys ajugoides, Heracleum maximum</i>, and a variety of other mesophilic to hydrophilic herbs dominating the understory. The herbaceous layer is typically open, while the shrub canopy is continuous. Other species may include <i>Urtica dioica, Juncus effusus var. brunneus</i>, and <i>Oenanthe sarmentosa</i>. <i>Rubus spectabilis</i> forms dense clonal thickets along seeps, ponds, lagoons, and creeks in the foggy coastal strip of the area. Species composition may vary with some species such as <i>Scirpus microcarpus</i> and <i>Lonicera involucrata</i> codominant in certain areas. Stands are usually small, but may range up to 2.5 ha.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32354-{E9F5DE33-5D2C-4A2F-A417-85A640E12F1A} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
