Name: A.172
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance is found in limited areas of floodplains in the Black Hills where the most abundant canopy species is ~Picea glauca$. ~Betula papyrifera$ and ~Populus tremuloides$ commonly occur in small amounts. ~Corylus cornuta$ is a common understory shrub. ^Most stands are relatively small and restricted to areas along streams and ravine bottoms at relatively high elevation in the Black Hills. They may be flooded for a short period in the spring season. Elevation is a more important factor in the development of this alliance than substrate. Stands dominated by ~Picea glauca$ occur on soils derived from both igneous and limestone rocks in the Black Hills.
