Name: Sandstone Bedrock Great Lakes Shore Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This sparsely vegetated sandstone bedrock rocky shore community is found on the shores of Lake Superior in the United States and Canada. They occur as small inclusions within areas of the larger sandstone cliff communities. Narrow areas of pavement occur at less than a meter above the lake levels and are generally moist. Mosses, liverworts, and scattered vascular plants may be found. Vascular plants on the pavement are concentrated in cracks in the rock, whereas mosses and liverworts are found where seepages flow across the rock. Some of the more common vascular plants include <i>Achillea millefolium, Chamerion angustifolium, Betula papyrifera, Campanula rotundifolia, Cystopteris fragilis, Deschampsia cespitosa, Phegopteris connectilis, Alnus incana, Equisetum arvense</i>, and <i>Euthamia graminifolia</i>. Less common, and more restricted to cracks in the pavement, are <i>Sibbaldiopsis tridentata, Lobelia kalmii, Packera indecora, Packera paupercula, Physocarpus opulifolius, Primula mistassinica, Trisetum spicatum</i>, and <i>Rubus pubescens</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31415-{FD5B0AB9-2143-4685-B0E4-4E9908D1AB21} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
