Name: Acer macrophyllum - Alnus rubra Riparian Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance represents riparian forests and woodlands dominated by <i>Acer macrophyllum</i> or <i>Alnus rubra</i> or both in the upper canopy. <i>Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa</i> and/or <i>Fraxinus latifolia</i> are not present or, if so, not more than 5% relative cover. Conifer species, if present, are not more than 10-20% of the total cover. A shrub layer may also be present. This alliance is found within the coastal and near-coast interior lowlands of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. It occurs along low-elevation streams and riparian areas, large and small rivers, but more often on steeper gradient streams.
