Name: Polygonum cuspidatum Temporarily Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance covers significant (monocultural) stands of the exotic forb Polygonum cuspidatum found in temporarily flooded habitats such as scour bars. These disturbed habitats flood very frequently and have lots of light and rocky or sandy soil. Stands of this vegetation may be dense and shrubby, or more open. The patches of Polygonum shade out other plant species. In North Carolina, it is found on scour bars and low rocky banks of the Nolichucky and French Broad rivers. In Kentucky, Polygonum cuspidatum is primarily along disturbed riverbanks and bars mostly in the Cumberland Plateau and Mountains where it can be in pure, dense stands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28494.POLYGONUMCUSPID Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
