Name: Central Midwest-Interior Limestone - Dolostone Talus Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This limestone - dolostone talus community is found throughout the central midwestern and Ozark regions of the United States, and localized areas in southern Ontario, Canada. Stands occur at the bases of steep cliffs along larger streams or rivers, or strongly dissected valleys. Aspect is variable, and moisture could be moist or dry. Soils are generally absent. Parent material could be limestone or dolostone with a mixture of rock fragments and large boulders. The vegetation is generally sparse but may vary depending on degree of slope, exposure (open versus shaded), and rock type. The composition of the type may be heavily influenced by adjacent forested stands. In Missouri, characteristic species include the ferns <i>Adiantum pedatum, Diplazium pycnocarpon, Asplenium rhizophyllum</i>, and <i>Cystopteris bulbifera</i>. Other herbaceous species include <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Impatiens capensis, Pilea pumila, Polymnia canadensis</i>, and <i>Physalis missouriensis</i>. Scattered woody plants include <i>Hydrangea arborescens</i> and <i>Staphylea trifolia</i>. In Ontario open talus stands contain <i>Adiantum pedatum, Ageratina altissima, Geranium robertianum, Impatiens capensis, Poa pratensis</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31217-{DE969054-1FD0-4712-A35F-9078E8757117} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
