Synopsis
Excerpt from Red Alder, Its Management and Utilization
Alder grows both in pure stands and in mixture with native coni fers and hardwoods. When growing in mixture, it is nearly always in a dominant or codominant position. Stands are predominantly even aged, whether pure or mixed, since alder is usually the first tree to originate in openings. Because of its intolerance, it rarely fills in after a stand has been established. Mixtures occur only in young-growth coniferous stands less than 100 years old; however, alder may occur in openings in older stands. Only on sites best suited for alder growth does it succeed itself.
Characteristic tree associates are Douglas-fir,3 western redcedar, western hemlock, grand fir, Sitka spruce, bigleaf maple, vine maple, Pacific willow, bitter cherry, and black cottonwood. Given time, conifers will often attain dominance as the alder canopy breaks up because of age, disease, or insects.
