Name: Limestone Cobble - Gravel Great Lakes Shore Sparse Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: The limestone cobble - gravel Great Lakes shore type is commonly found along the shorelines of the northern Great Lakes in the United States and Canada. Stands occur between bedrock exposures. Cobble lakeshore is interspersed with pavement lakeshore or low cliff. These cobble - gravel lakeshores support a sparse vegetation. Deep accumulations of large cobbles tend to quite dry and are nearly unvegetated, while shallow accumulations of small gravel and cobbles, especially when mixed with a moist sandy substrate, tend to support denser and more diverse plant cover. The most frequently encountered species include <i>Clinopodium arkansanum (= Calamintha arkansana), Campanula rotundifolia, Carex viridula, Juncus balticus, Juncus dudleyi, Populus balsamifera, Argentina anserina (= Potentilla anserina)</i>, and <i>Oligoneuron ohioense (= Solidago ohioensis)</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36948.CEGL005169 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
