Name: A.1697
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes herbaceous seepage communities that develop on the shores of larger rivers, where flood scouring maintains semi-open conditions and groundwater discharge supports a fen-like aspect. Shore substrate may be sandy, gravelly, or bedrock. Characteristic species include ~Triantha glutinosa (= Tofieldia glutinosa), Spiranthes$ spp., ~Parnassia glauca$, and ~Carex hassei$. Communities in this alliance are referred to locally as 'riverside seeps' and 'calcareous riverside seeps.'
