Name: Alnus serrulata Seasonally Flooded Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance is found primarily in the northeastern and upper southeastern United States. Alnus serrulata is dominant or characteristic in most examples of these shrub swamps. Typical shrub associates include Salix spp., Myrica gale, or Rosa palustris. Saplings of Acer rubrum may be present. Typical herbaceous associates include Decodon verticillatus, Osmunda regalis, Thelypteris palustris, Galium spp., Typha latifolia, Peltandra virginica, Rhododendron viscosum, and Carex stricta. Habitats of this alliance generally contain muck overlying mineral soils. Peat deposits are not typical. These shrub swamps occur in numerous settings, such as upland marsh borders, at the edges of red maple swamps, or in acid colluvium at bases of slopes.
