Great Lakes Basalt - Diabase Cliff Sparse Vegetation | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Great Lakes Basalt - Diabase Cliff Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This basalt - diabase cliff community is found along Great Lakes shorelines in the subboreal regions of the Great Lakes in the United States and central Canada. Stands occur on vertical or near-vertical, south- to west-facing aspects of bedrock. Moisture is derived from precipitation, with severe wave action possible for cliffs along the Great Lakes shoreline. Mosses, lichens, ferns, and liverworts may be found, with occasional graminoids in crevices or shelves that trap soil. In Minnesota, arctic-alpine disjunct plant species (e.g., <i>Moehringia macrophylla, Draba norvegica</i>) and more temperate plant species may be found.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33955-{B64BEED1-0206-40AF-AE0A-A2A469B3267A} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 3
