Name: Igneous - Metamorphic Cobble - Gravel River Shore Sparse Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This igneous - metamorphic cobble - gravel bedrock river shore community type is found in the upper Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and perhaps elsewhere. Stands are found on rivers where scouring by ice or flooding creates a sparsely vegetated zone along the river. Substrate is cobble - gravel, and may be composed of either basalt/diabase or granite/metamorphic rocks. The vegetation of this type has not yet been characterized.
