Description: Betula nigra thickets on sandy, gravelly or cobbly deposits, often forming on river islands where vegetation is frequently battered by floodwaters and thereby maintained in a shrubby condition. Associates include Prunus spp. and Salix spp., as well as stunted individuals of Platanus occidentalis. This alliance occurs in the Allegheny Plateau, Central Appalachians, and Hudson Valley.
