Name: Phalaris arundinacea Eastern Ruderal Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is found throughout the northeastern and midwestern United States, but its distribution as a natural type is complicated elsewhere. Stands are typically minerotrophic wetlands rather than river shores. Stands are dominated by <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i>, which tends to occur in monocultures or associated with <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i>. Other associates in the Northeast include <i>Agrostis gigantea, Alnus incana</i> or <i>Alnus serrulata, Viburnum dentatum</i>, and <i>Viburnum nudum</i>. Western stands tend to be monotypic. Further work is required to resolve the natural versus introduced nature of this type in North America before a thorough alliance description can be completed.
