Name: Lonicera (x bella, morrowii, tatarica) - Rhus glabra - Zanthoxylum americanum Ruderal Shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is currently only described from Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, Minnesota. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This association has a tall- to short-shrub layer (1-5 m tall) with at least 25% cover but this can range to nearly 100%. Tree cover is sparse (&lt;25%) and herbaceous cover can be variable but tends to be dense (avg. 70%). The most abundant shrubs are exotic or weedy native species, particularly <i>Lonicera x bella, Lonicera japonica, Lonicera tatarica, Rhus glabra, Rhus typhina</i>, and <i>Zanthoxylum americanum</i>. <i>Rubus</i> spp. and <i>Ribes</i> spp. can be common low shrubs. These can occur in varying proportions from relatively even mixes to nearly monospecific stands. The herbaceous stratum mirrors the ruderal nature of the shrub layer and is usually dominated by grasses. <i>Bromus inermis</i> and <i>Poa pratensis</i> are often dominant though native grasses can be present or common. <i>Achillea millefolium, Ageratina altissima, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Asclepias syriaca, Centaurea stoebe ssp. micranthos, Conyza canadensis, Monarda fistulosa, Solidago canadensis</i>, and <i>Solidago gigantea</i> are typical components of the forb cover. This association occurs on a variety of landforms, slopes, and soil types. The common factor to all sites is a history of significant anthropogenic disturbance, often including planting of exotic species. Sites are found on flat to steep slopes and mostly on medium-textured soils but coarse or fine soils are possible. Sites range from wet-mesic to dry-mesic and are found on the floodplain, on valley slopes, and on flat uplands away from the floodplain. The ground cover is mostly litter (avg. 46%) with some bare sand (14%).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34219-{B0ABEA50-C7E6-4D48-A781-3DD7C43AE039} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
