Name: Alnus viridis Shrubland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes montane, mainly deciduous shrublands dominated by Alnus viridis. These shrubs are typically 1.5-2 m in height, rarely producing a closed canopy but typically occurring as uniformly spaced clumps about 1 m apart. Rubus allegheniensis is often a codominant with Alnus viridis ssp. crispa. Other shrub species occur with low coverage and include Rhododendron catawbiense, Vaccinium corymbosum, and Crataegus spp. Openings in the shrub canopy are dominated by herbs, mainly Carex pensylvanica and Carex debilis var. rudgei but also may include Danthonia compressa, Deschampsia flexuosa, Viola blanda, Rumex acetosella (exotic), and Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides. In moister areas, bryophyte cover can be up to 75%, with Polytrichum commune typical.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19549.ALNUSVIRIDISSHR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
