Name: Riverine Sand Flats - Bars Sparse Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This community ranges from the western Great Plains to the eastern parts of the midwestern United States and Canada. It is a sparsely vegetated community that occurs along river shorelines, islands, pointbars, and flats. These sandbars form when receding floodwaters deposit sand and lesser amounts of clay, silt, and cobbles in the stream bed. Soils are often undeveloped due to the ephemeral nature of the stands. Drainage depends on depth above the water level. Herbaceous species shared in Missouri and Nebraska include <i>Cyperus</i> spp. (<i>Cyperus erythrorhizos, Cyperus odoratus, Cyperus squarrosus), Eragrostis hypnoides, Eragrostis trichodes, Leptochloa fusca ssp. fascicularis (= Leptochloa fascicularis), Polygonum</i> spp. (including <i>Polygonum lapathifolium), Rorippa sinuata, Sporobolus cryptandrus</i>, and <i>Xanthium strumarium</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36731.CEGL002049 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
