Name: Rubus (argutus, trivialis) - Smilax (glauca, rotundifolia) Ruderal Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Stands of this successional community develop following disturbance (complete forest canopy removal). These stands are dominated by blackberries/dewberries (<i>Rubus argutus, Rubus trivialis</i>) and by greenbrier species (<i>Smilax glauca, Smilax rotundifolia</i>). Many examples include a great variety of tree saplings and other woody species (<i>Quercus</i> spp., <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Diospyros virginiana, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Rhus copallinum</i>), herbs (<i>Solidago</i> spp., Asteraceae spp., <i>Helianthus</i> spp., <i>Hypericum</i> spp., <i>Potentilla simplex</i>), and grasses (<i>Andropogon</i> spp., <i>Dichanthelium</i> spp., <i>Panicum</i> spp., <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Lolium</i> spp., and <i>Sorghastrum nutans</i>). Communities that are surrounded by relatively intact ecosystems will tend to have more native species. In the Southern Blue Ridge, at intermediate elevations, <i>Rubus allegheniensis</i> may be a component. Those surrounded by old fields or fragmented by development tend to have <i>Lonicera japonica</i> and/or <i>Rosa multiflora</i> as a codominant vine overtopping much of the blackberry and greenbrier.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33510-{511DCA8E-4332-4131-AE93-3EB0FA5A2C72} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 7
