Name: Cornus spp. - Prunus virginiana / Pascopyrum smithii Great Plains Riparian Wet Meadow & Shrubland Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This group consists of shrub- and herbaceous-dominated stands along perennial or intermittent rivers in the Great Plains. This riparian group can be found throughout most of the Great Plains from the U.S. border in central Montana and North Dakota to Oklahoma. Sites are found on raised islands and terraces above the main channel that experience periodic flooding. Shrubs or herbaceous plants can dominate. Common species include <i>Cornus drummondii, Cornus sericea, Symphoricarpos occidentalis, Prunus virginiana, Pascopyrum smithii, Schizachyrium scoparium</i> (in the west and south), and the exotics <i>Poa pratensis</i> and <i>Melilotus</i> spp. Scattered trees may be present, and examples of this group may occur on a floodplain interspersed with ~Great Plains Cottonwood - Green Ash Floodplain Forest Group (G147)$$.
