Name: Alnus serrulata Southeastern Shrub Swamp Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alder swamp is found in the upper southeastern United States, most probably from Kentucky south to central Alabama and Georgia, and west to Mississippi and Arkansas. These shrublands are found on muck overlying mineral soils, at the edges of forested swamps, or in other related seasonally flooded situations, including depressions in floodplains and the backwaters of lakes and beaver ponds. Hydrologic alteration of systems (e.g., creation of impoundments by the agency of humans and/or beaver) may expand habitat for this association. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrubs, and is characterized by some combination of <i>Alnus serrulata, Viburnum</i> spp., <i>Cornus</i> spp., and <i>Salix</i> spp. In addition, saplings of <i>Acer rubrum</i> are typical. Other shrubs present may include <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis, Decodon verticillatus</i>, and <i>Ilex verticillata</i>. Herbaceous associates include <i>Osmunda regalis, Thelypteris palustris, Galium</i> spp., <i>Typha latifolia, Peltandra virginica</i>, and <i>Carex</i> spp. Tree species such as <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Juglans nigra</i> may exist on the fringes of such an association, occasionally overshadowing parts of the association.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36535-{E64F2F06-6670-44F2-846D-171024A31A39} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
