Name: Cornus (amomum, sericea) - Viburnum dentatum - Rosa multiflora Ruderal Shrub Swamp
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This tall successional shrub community typically floods early in the growing season and may be saturated to near the surface for some of the growing season, but it is generally dry for much of the year. It typically occurs in low-lying areas of old fields or pastures, or the edges of beaver-impacted wetlands or impoundments. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrubs, usually 2-4 m in height. This is a successional community in transition between a successional old field and a modified successional forest. Vegetation can be highly variable, and no one species is dominant. <i>Cornus amomum, Cornus sericea, Viburnum dentatum, Spiraea alba var. latifolia, Rosa multiflora, Rubus allegheniensis</i>, and <i>Rubus hispidus</i> are all typically present and abundant. <i>Salix</i> spp. may also be present but are less common. Scattered individuals of <i>Acer rubrum</i> or <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> may also occur within the shrubland. Herbaceous species are inversely proportional to shrub cover; they can be dense where the shrub canopy is open. Species can include <i>Solidago rugosa, Solidago gigantea, Eupatorium maculatum, Phragmites australis, Phalaris arundinacea, Apocynum cannabinum, Vernonia</i> sp., and <i>Onoclea sensibilis</i>.
