Name: Crataegus douglasii - (Crataegus chrysocarpa) Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This black hawthorn shrubland occurs in the northwestern Great Plains and edges of the Black Hills of the United States. The stands grow in mesic draws and on higher surfaces of streamside riparian areas in the plains and foothills. Stands of this type are nearly impenetrable thickets of hawthorns and other tall shrubs (to about 2.5 m) growing above low or medium-height (about 0.7 m), often patchy shrub layers of <i>Symphoricarpos occidentalis</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i>, and patchy herbaceous layers of graminoids. The herbaceous layer, present in stands with patchy shrub layers, usually consists of exotic species (<i>Bromus inermis, Poa pratensis, Phleum pratense, Cirsium arvense</i>), although several native species (<i>Carex sprengelii, Elymus glaucus, Elymus virginicus, Elymus trachycaulus ssp. trachycaulus, Galium boreale, Galium aparine, Galium triflorum</i>) often are present and may have constituted the original understories.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34492.CEGL001093 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
