Name: A.1831
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes near-vertical to overhanging cliffs, dry to moist, with crevices, generally with very little vascular vegetation, and little nonvascular vegetation, with ~Asplenium montanum$ as a characteristic component. This community occurs on a number of different rock types, including sandstone, quartzite, gneiss, schist, phyllite, but all are acidic (pH of soils in crevices is usually less than 4.0). ~Asplenium montanum$ is a characteristic species in stands of this type, although it may not have high cover and will not necessarily even be present. ~Heuchera parviflora$ and ~Silene rotundifolia$ are equally characteristic and diagnostic.
