Name: Alnus incana Saturated Shrubland Alliance Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance includes shrub swamps in which Alnus incana is dominant or characteristically present. These alder shrub swamps occur in numerous settings such as in upland marsh borders, at the edges of red maple swamps, or in acidic colluvium at bases of slopes. Typically they occur in saturated mineral soil with no significant peat deposits, although a few types do occur on shallow peat. Typical shrub associates include Salix spp., Myrica gale, or Rosa palustris. Saplings of Acer rubrum may be present. Typical herbaceous associates include Decodon verticillatus, Osmunda regalis, Thelypteris palustris, Galium spp., Typha latifolia, Peltandra virginica, Rhododendron viscosum, and Carex stricta. Communities of this alliance occur throughout the Eastern Region, and range into the Midwestern Region and the Southeastern Region.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28440.ALNUSINCANASATU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
