Name:
Vitis rotundifolia - Nekemias arborea - Campsis radicans Ruderal Vine-Shrubland Alliance
Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
This alliance includes floodplain vegetation dominated by woody and semi-woody vines, including <i>Nekemias arborea, Berchemia scandens, Bignonia capreolata, Brunnichia ovata, Campsis radicans, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Smilax rotundifolia, Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. Examples are found primarily in the coastal plains of the southeastern United States, but may occur in the Interior Low Plateau as well. Often the weight of the vine coverage will break the stems of woody species before they attain 5 m in height, but a limited canopy of <i>Celtis laevigata, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus</i> spp., <i>Salix</i> spp., <i>Ulmus americana</i>, and other trees may be present as well. A limited shrub stratum that contains canopy species as well as <i>Arundinaria gigantea, Ilex decidua, Lindera benzoin, Morella cerifera</i>, and others may be present. The limited herbaceous layer may contain <i>Arisaema dracontium, Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex abscondita, Carex lupulina, Carex retroflexa, Cryptotaenia canadensis, Cyperus</i> spp., <i>Eupatorium capillifolium, Polygonum</i> spp., and others.
