Name: A.296
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Vegetation in this alliance occurs primarily on riverfronts and lake shores, mostly in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Interior Low Plateau, and Ozarkian highlands. ~Salix caroliniana$ is the dominant small tree, and can form a dense to open or very open canopy. This vegetation tends to occupy small areas; these are usually relatively linear or crescent-shaped patches associated with streamfronts, sand bars, etc., but it sometimes occupies larger areas. Communities of this alliance result from flooding disturbance and are generally short-lived.
