Name: Salix nigra Riverscour Scrub Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance is composed of vegetation occurring on sand and gravel rivershores receiving high-energy flood-scour. The physiognomy is best characterized as scrub, formed by intermittent flood-scour. <i>Salix nigra</i> is characteristic, but floristic composition and structure is widely variable. Other species of <i>Salix</i> may co-occur, as well as <i>Alnus serrulata, Cornus sericea</i>, and a variety of herbaceous species that tolerate flood disturbance. Alluvial tree saplings often occur as well, including <i>Acer saccharinum, Populus deltoides</i>, and others. This alliance occurs throughout the eastern United States and possibly adjacent Canada.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38137-{3BFEB0DE-8C82-4046-9E0B-5FB975A3153F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
