Name: River Mudflats Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This river mudflats community is found throughout the upper and central midwestern region of the United States and adjacent Canada, and probably more widely. It extends south at least as far as the Ozarks and Ouachitas of Arkansas. Stands occur in riverine areas that flood in the spring, but dry out later in the season, exposing wet, muddy sediments on which plant species subsequently grow. Substrates include silt and clay. The composition and structure of the vegetation are influenced by the flooding regime. Vegetation of this type has not been characterized. Stands in south-central Illinois and east-central Missouri contain the characteristic, and rare, <i>Boltonia decurrens</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31223-{A896479C-3457-4160-B24A-5F0058838D89} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
