Type Concept: 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 vegetation grows along the margins or on depositions within low-gradient, freshwater streams. Stands are subjected to seasonal flooding. Soils are fine to coarse loamy sand deposited by flooding. This shrubland forms an intermittent to continuous tree canopy between 5-10 m in height. Salix lasiolepis and Salix lucida codominate. The shrub layer is open to intermittent and Salix lasiolepis is important. Rubus ursinus, Toxicodendron diversilobum, Heracleum maximum, Sambucus racemosa, and/or Scrophularia californica may also be present. The herbaceous layer is open to intermittent, and may include Equisetum arvense, Urtica dioica, Conium maculatum (exotic), Juncus patens, and/or Juncus effusus.
