Name: Cephalanthus occidentalis - Salix (exigua, lucida ssp. lasiandra) Wet Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This dense, broad-leaved, winter-deciduous riparian copse is dominated by <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>, usually as tall shrubs (6-9 m [20-30 feet]) but in some areas reaching to 18 m (60 feet). It prefers quiet waters like sloughs and oxbow lakes, but is restricted to intermittently flooded, seasonally saturated floodplains. It requires poorly aerated, fine-textured soils with seasonal flooding and a high water table. <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> is the sole or dominant shrub in the canopy. Other species that may be present include <i>Cornus sericea, Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra</i> and <i>Salix exigua</i>. Shrubs typically are less than 10 m in height; the canopy is continuous, intermittent or open. The herbaceous layer can be sparse or grassy.
