Name: Spartina pectinata - Muhlenbergia richardsonis - Sporobolus heterolepis - Oligoneuron album - Euthamia graminifolia Riverscour Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This river ledge pavement community is found in the United States and Canada, ranging from northern Michigan, northern Wisconsin and southern Ontario to northern New York. Stands occur as small patches on limestone ledges along a river's shore; these ledges are scoured by river water and ice during periods of peak water flow. Typically, the community has an open canopy with less than 10% cover of trees or shrubs. The ground layer is dominated by grasses and sedges, or a mosaic of pavement patches and grassy patches. Cover of herbs is variable, with some areas having nearly 100% cover. Other areas have a lot of exposed rock pavement, with as little as 15% cover of herbs, and are confined to linear rock crevices. Characteristic species include <i>Euthamia graminifolia, Muhlenbergia richardsonis, Oligoneuron album, Spartina pectinata</i>, and <i>Sporobolus heterolepis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33996-{193B1336-E4F3-4D14-A3D5-6601C99B1CDA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
