Name: A.609
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes disturbed, usually steep and rocky areas dominated by scattered ~Paulownia tomentosa$, which is native to eastern Asia, where it is a minor component of deciduous mesophytic forests. It has become naturalized in portions of the eastern United States, where it occurs as small, scattered populations along roadsides, in disturbed woodlots, and in streamside forests. It is not likely to become an invasive pest, since it requires large-scale, substrate-scarifying disturbance for optimal establishment and maintenance. The species has been widely planted in eastern North America from Montreal to Florida, and west to Missouri and Texas. This alliance is currently defined for montane portions of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
