Name: Betula papyrifera / Corylus cornuta Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of woodlands in the northwestern Great Plains dominated by <i>Betula papyrifera</i>. Other associates include <i>Populus tremuloides, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, and, less frequently, <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>. A shrub stratum is nearly always present and often vigorous and dominated by species such as <i>Corylus</i> spp., <i>Prunus virginiana, Amelanchier alnifolia</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos</i> spp. The herbaceous stratum is dominated by woodland and forest species with few prairie species. Stands can be found on a variety of landscape positions from flat areas to steep slopes, though in the southern part of its range it is limited to steep north-facing slopes.
