Name: Phalaris arundinacea Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance is found throughout the northeastern United States, but its distribution as a natural type is complicated elsewhere. Stands are dominated by Phalaris arundinacea, which tends to occur in monocultures or associated with Calamagrostis canadensis. Other associates in the Northeast include Viburnum nudum, Alnus incana or Alnus serrulata, Viburnum dentatum, and Agrostis gigantea. Further work is required to resolve the natural versus introduced nature of this type in North American before a complete alliance description can be completed. Stands are typically minerotrophic wetlands rather than river shores.
