The complex is dominated by the following shrubs: false azalea (Menziesia ferruginea), white-flowered rhododendron (Rhododendron albiflorum), oval-leaved blueberry (Vaccinium ovalifolium), and black huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium). The dominant herb is Sitka valerian (Valeriana sitchensis) on fresh to moist sites. Other herbs that may invade following harvest include: fireweed, woodrush, red elderberry, mountain ash, foamflower, mountain arnica, twisted stalk, and Indian hellebore. Topics covered in this summary include development of the complex and its interaction with crop trees; non-timber values and pre-harvest considerations; and management strategies for current and backlog sites."--Unedited text from document.
