Name: Small Eroding Bluffs Midwestern Sparse Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This sparsely vegetated bluff community is found in restricted places throughout the midwestern United States and adjacent Canada. Sites are found in deeply cut ravines or valleys, especially adjacent to streams or rivers. Stands consist of vertical exposures of eroded unconsolidated material (glacial drift, loess), or weak rock (shale). Soils are absent or confined to the crests of the bluff. Moisture is variable. The vegetation is sparse. Species composition is quite variable, and there may be little floristic coherence to the type. Species include, in Indiana, Danthonia spicata, Heuchera spp., Hydrangea arborescens, Solidago nemoralis; in Illinois, Danthonia spicata, Solidago nemoralis, Taenidia integerrima; and in Missouri, Adiantum pedatum, Arisaema triphyllum (= Arisaema atrorubens), Equisetum arvense, Equisetum hyemale, and Impatiens capensis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19656.SMALLERODINGBLU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
