Name: Basalt - Diabase Great Lakes Shore Cliff Sparse Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This basalt - diabase cliff community is found along Great Lakes shorelines in the sub-boreal regions of the Great Lakes in the United States and central Canada. Stands occur on vertical or near-vertical, south- to west-facing aspects of bedrock. Moisture is derived from precipitation, with severe wave action possible for cliffs along the Great Lakes shoreline. Mosses, lichens, ferns, and liverworts may be found, with occasional graminoids in crevices or shelves that trap soil. In Minnesota, arctic-alpine disjunct plant species (e.g., Moehringia macrophylla (= Arenaria macrophylla), Draba norvegica) and more temperate plant species may be found.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22762.BASALTDIABASEGR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
