Name: Alnus serrulata / Calamagrostis canadensis Shrub Swamp Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alder swamp is found widely throughout the northeastern United States south of near-boreal regions. These shrublands are found on muck overlying mineral soils (peat deposits are not typical) of upland marsh borders, at the edges of red maple swamps, or in acidic colluvium at bases of slopes. The pH of these systems is broadly circumneutral to somewhat calcareous. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrubs, characterized and usually dominated by <i>Alnus serrulata</i>, sometimes in a mixture with (or rarely replaced by) <i>Alnus incana</i>. Associate shrubs vary somewhat with geography and include <i>Cornus sericea, Rosa palustris, Physocarpus opulifolius, Viburnum dentatum</i>, and <i>Salix</i> spp. Saplings of <i>Acer rubrum</i> are typical. Short shrubs include <i>Spiraea alba var. latifolia</i> and <i>Lindera benzoin</i>. Less frequent shrubs include <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis, Decodon verticillatus, Ilex verticillata, Rhododendron viscosum</i>, and <i>Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis</i>. Herbaceous associates include <i>Calamagrostis canadensis, Osmunda regalis, Glyceria striata, Thelypteris palustris, Galium</i> spp., <i>Typha latifolia, Polygonum hydropiper, Bidens cernua, Galium tinctorium, Cicuta maculata, Peltandra virginica</i>, and <i>Carex stricta</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33847-{63CC487F-EA2C-4103-8AA9-265D8DAB6358} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 57
