Description: This alliance occurs in the western Great Lakes region. It is a dry shrubland found over granite. Total vegetation cover ranges from open to moderately dense. Shrubs less than 2 m tall dominate the vegetation, but nonvascular species are very common on exposed bedrock. ~Amelanchier$ spp., ~Corylus cornuta, Prunus virginiana, Rubus hispidus$, and ~Vaccinium$ spp. are the most abundant shrubs. The herbaceous layer may be poorly to moderately well-developed. ~Danthonia spicata, Solidago$ spp., and ~Poa compressa$ are typical herbaceous species. Scattered small trees, such as ~Acer rubrum, Betula papyrifera, Picea glauca, Populus tremuloides$, are found in some stands. ^Stands of this alliance occur on dry, thin-soiled sites over granite. They are generally gently to moderately sloping and exposed bedrock is common.
