Name: Cornus drummondii - (Prunus spp., Rhus spp.) Ruderal Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community is found in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and possibly other adjacent states. It occupies disturbed or successional uplands over limestones, dolomites, or other neutral to basic substrates. The vegetation consists of thickets or patches of shrubs 2-3 m tall. <i>Cornus drummondii</i> and <i>Rhus glabra</i> are usually the dominant species, although <i>Prunus americana, Prunus angustifolia, Prunus mexicana, Rhus aromatica, Rhus copallinum</i>, or <i>Symphoricarpos orbiculatus</i> may dominate in places. Where shrub cover is dense, vines such as <i>Berchemia scandens, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i> may be present. Under the dense canopy, the herbaceous layer may be sparse, consisting of various native grasses and forbs, but also exotic species such as <i>Lespedeza cuneata</i>. In open stands, the herbaceous layer is more dense and consists of species common to perennial glade-margin associations.
