Name: Cornus drummondii - Amorpha fruticosa - Cornus sericea Wet Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dogwood shrubland community is found along rivers and streams in the central Great Plains of the United States. It is found along high banks, raised islands, and terraces above the stream channel, which experience periodic flooding in late winter or spring. Soils are moderately well-drained and formed in alluvium. Vegetation consists of patches of moderate to locally dense of cold-deciduous shrubs 2-3 m tall. <i>Amorpha fruticosa</i> and <i>Cornus drummondii</i> dominate the stands, with scattered patches of <i>Cornus sericea, Salix exigua</i> and <i>Populus deltoides</i> saplings. Herbaceous understory varies in response to flooding. Sedges, such as <i>Carex cristatella, Carex emoryi</i>, and <i>Carex pellita</i>, are found with mesophytic grasses, such as <i>Panicum virgatum</i> and <i>Andropogon gerardii</i>. In more xeric habitats, weedy annual forbs, such as <i>Ambrosia artemisiifolia</i>, may be abundant, whereas wetter sites are dominated by forbs typical of marshes, e.g. <i>Impatiens capensis, Mentha arvensis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33983-{4414C5B9-B1D3-47B7-A6B8-0CBA6379140F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
