Polygonum cuspidatum Ruderal Wet Meadow | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Polygonum cuspidatum Ruderal Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Examples of this vegetation type are significant (monocultural) stands of the exotic forb <i>Polygonum cuspidatum</i>, which are found in temporarily flooded habitats such as scour bars. These disturbed habitats flood very frequently and have lots of light and rocky or sandy soil. Stands of this vegetation may be dense and shrubby, or somewhat more open. Species diversity is low, as the patches of <i>Polygonum</i> shade out other plant species. This vegetation ranges across the Southeast north at least to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In North Carolina, this vegetation is found on scour bars and low rocky banks of the Nolichucky and French Broad rivers. In Kentucky, <i>Polygonum cuspidatum</i> is found primarily along disturbed riverbanks and bars mostly in the Cumberland Plateau and Cumberland Mountains where it can form pure, dense stands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36533-{479EDECC-D4F3-454A-A5A0-441078EE030C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 5
