Name: Alnus serrulata Eastern Shrubland Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This smooth alder swamp is found widely throughout the northeastern United States. These shrublands are found on muck overlying mineral soils (peat deposits are not typical) of upland marsh borders, at the edges of red maple swamps, or in acid colluvium at bases of slopes. The pH of these systems is broadly circumneutral to somewhat calcareous. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrublands, and characterized by Alnus serrulata, Physocarpus opulifolius, Viburnum recognitum, Cornus spp. and Salix spp. Saplings of Acer rubrum are typical. Herbaceous associates include Calamagrostis canadensis, Osmunda regalis, Thelypteris palustris, Galium spp., Typha latifolia, Peltandra virginica, and Carex stricta. Other shrubs present include Cephalanthus occidentalis, Decodon verticillatus, Ilex verticillata, Rhododendron viscosum, and Sambucus canadensis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19236.ALNUSSERRULATAE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
