Landscape Narrative	Riverine vegetation includes riverscour woodlands in flood battered positions, silver maple forests on sandy banks, and sycamore floodplain forests on rocky terraces.;Sandy beach with boulders just below rapids. Open community dominated by a patch of Scirpus pungens. Justicia americana in a small patch near water edge at upstream end of plot. A few coppiced Salix nigra and Platanus are in plot. Alluvial deposits have regularly layered sand and silt deposits.
Representativeness	ELU 1340 (river) on edge of 1333 (gorge slope bottom on shale). Small patch - plot is intire community. These patches occur in slack water positions just below rapids where fines are dropped. May be considered a sub-type of the Platanus-Betula riverscour
