Name: Ozark Riverine Cobble - Gravel Riverscour Sparse Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This riverine gravel and cobble flats community is found in the Ozark and Ouachita regions of the United States. Stands occur along large and small rivers (including the Buffalo River in Arkansas) where gravel and cobble material has been deposited on the first terraces. The substrate consists of a mixture of cobbles, gravel and sand, and soils are poorly developed or absent. Sites can be flooded in spring. Vegetation is sparse and usually consists of scattered patches of annual grasses and annual or biennial forbs under 1 m tall. Shrubs are also scattered and uncommon, including <i>Lindera benzoin, Alnus serrulata</i>, and <i>Hamamelis vernalis</i>.
