Name: Rhododendron maximum Shrubland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes riparian shrublands and shrub thickets of mesic slopes dominated by Rhododendron maximum, without a significant tree canopy. Rhododendron maximum-dominated shrublands are less frequently found on more xeric ridges and sideslopes, on sites which have been subjected to extreme crown fires. Shrublands in this alliance are typically tall (over 2 m) and occur over acidic soils. These shrublands can occur as the result of disturbance and will succeed to forest with an ericaceous understory without some form of disturbance. Rhododendron maximum shrublands frequently occur adjacent to wet herbaceous cliff vegetation, wetland riparian shrublands, or within forests dominated by Tsuga canadensis, Quercus rubra, Liriodendron tulipifera, Pinus strobus, Quercus prinus, Picea rubens, or Abies fraseri.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24385.RHODODENDRONMAX Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
