Description: This New Jersey calcareous riverside outcrop community occurs along sections of river shoreline where winter ice scouring and limestone outcrops co-occur. Species composition is very diverse, but the most frequent species are <i>Anemone virginiana var. alba, Andropogon gerardii, Arabis lyrata, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum, Campanula rotundifolia, Phalaris arundinacea, Potentilla arguta</i>, and <i>Physocarpus opulifolius</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Galium boreale, Lythrum salicaria, Melilotus officinalis, Poa</i> spp., <i>Spartina pectinata, Zizia aptera</i>. Areas of shoreline supporting this community vary between sloped, solid slabs of limestone to 'cobbled' areas of smooth limestone and other rocks intermingled with substantial alluvial deposits. The degree of shoreline sloping varies from steep to gentle. The moisture regime is also quite variable among sites. Sites typically occur at north to northwest exposures, where they receive full late-day sun.
