Name: Corylus cornuta - Amelanchier spp. Shrubland Alliance Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This alliance occurs in the western Great Lakes region. It is a dry shrubland found over granite. Total vegetation cover ranges from open to moderately dense. Shrubs less than 2 m tall dominate the vegetation, but nonvascular species are very common on exposed bedrock. Amelanchier spp., Corylus cornuta, Prunus virginiana, Rubus hispidus, and Vaccinium spp. are the most abundant shrubs. The herbaceous layer may be poorly to moderately well-developed. Danthonia spicata, Solidago spp., and Poa compressa are typical herbaceous species. Scattered small trees, such as Acer rubrum, Betula papyrifera, Picea glauca, Populus tremuloides, are found in some stands. Stands of this alliance occur on dry, thin-soiled sites over granite. They are generally gently to moderately sloping and exposed bedrock is common.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22245.CORYLUSCORNUTAA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
