Name: A.1685
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance consists of small seepages with scattered cover of small forbs, including ~Chrysosplenium americanum, Cardamine clematitis, Circaea alpina$, and usually also with the moss ~Rhizomnium appalachianum$. Vegetation in this alliance is normally over-shaded by trees rooted in adjacent (non-wetland) communities. The spatial extent of this alliance is small, with individual occurrences normally much less than a hectare in size. Despite its small spatial scale, this alliance is an important component of the diversity of the landscapes in which it occurs. The alliance is distributed primarily in the Appalachian Mountains.
