Name: Alnus serrulata Saturated Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance includes non-alluvial, palustrine vegetation strongly dominated by Alnus serrulata and often, but not always, with substantial Sphagnum cover. Occurrences of this alliance can have small to moderately large herbaceous openings as well, but where open herbaceous patches are large and well-developed, communities in V.A.5.N.m should be considered. Communities in this alliance are saturated shrublands with Alnus serrulata as a strong dominant component, but other shrub species may be present. This alliance is found throughout the southeastern United States. Associations in this alliance lack the montane floristics of associations in the Alnus serrulata - Salix sericea - Rhododendron (catawbiense, maximum) Saturated Shrubland Alliance (A.1880). Vegetation at Fort Benning, Georgia (East Gulf Coastal Plain - Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain transition region), on the upper ends of beaver ponds which are inclusions in a Nyssa biflora saturated forest, apparently belong here.
