Name: Rhamnus cathartica Ruderal Shrubland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This non-native invasive shrubland is widespread throughout the northeastern and midwestern United States. It tends to form dense, often even-aged thickets, crowding and shading out native shrubs and herbs. In an open site, <i>Rhamnus cathartica</i> establishment is followed by lateral crown spread. This extension continues until branches touch adjacent shrubs. The large leaves and continuous canopy create dense shade. Even-aged thickets are common in both wetlands and in woodland understories. In fire-adapted ecosystems, the lack of vegetation under buckthorn prohibits fires.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36586.CEGL005461 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
