Name: Betula nana Alkaline Shrub Fen Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance consists of shrubby wetlands dominated by several different shrub species, often represented by <i>Betula nana</i>. These wetlands are neutral to alkaline pH fens found at elevations of 1500-3350 m (5000-11,000 feet) within the Rocky Mountains. <i>Betula nana</i> is an indicator for the shrubby growth form on these fens; however, other shrub species may be dominant. There is usually herbaceous cover, and dense mosses cover the ground.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38720-{E905BDCB-278E-4E6A-BF21-39A372B7E753} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
