This floodplain forest of pondshores and lakesides occurs in northwestern New Jersey and in the Champlain Valley of New York and Vermont. The vegetation occupies the floodplains of large lakes or, in New Jersey, on the shores of solution sinkholes and glacial kettles that developed on dolomite with overlying glacial till surficial deposits. Soils are shallow silt loam over bedrock and somewhat poorly drained. The tree canopy is closed and dominated by <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Acer saccharinum, Acer x freemanii, Ulmus americana</i>, and <i>Quercus bicolor</i>. Occasional canopy associates in New Jersey may include <i>Acer rubrum, Carpinus caroliniana, Carya alba (= Carya tomentosa), Carya cordiformis, Carya ovata, Celtis occidentalis, Juglans nigra, Liriodendron tulipifera, Platanus occidentalis, Quercus muehlenbergii</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>. A common shrub is <i>Lindera benzoin</i>; others may include <i>Ilex verticillata, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Cornus racemosa, Cornus sericea, Staphylea trifolia</i> (in New Jersey), <i>Viburnum lentago</i>, or <i>Zanthoxylum americanum</i>. Vines include <i>Smilax rotundifolia, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Vitis riparia</i>. The herbaceous layer is variable but often includes <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex lupulina, Bidens frondosa, Laportea canadensis, Lobelia cardinalis, Thelypteris palustris</i>, and <i>Lysimachia terrestris</i>. Other associates include <i>Acalypha rhomboidea, Asclepias incarnata, Osmunda cinnamomea, Onoclea sensibilis, Scutellaria lateriflora, Carex retrorsa, Mentha arvensis, Phalaris arundinacea</i>, and <i>Impatiens capensis</i>. |

This is an oligohaline tidal shrubland of brackish tidal waters in Mid-Atlantic on firm, partially decomposed peat lacking pronounced hummock-and-hollow microtopography. This vegetation forms linear stands along tidal channels between freshwater tidal marshes and adjacent swamp forests. The shrub canopy is relatively open to moderately dense and is dominated by <i>Morella cerifera</i>. <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i> is a common associate; others include <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>. The herbaceous layer is relatively diverse and characterized by <i>Eleocharis fallax, Eleocharis rostellata, Kosteletzkya virginica, Hibiscus moscheutos, Typha angustifolia, Polygonum punctatum, Cyperus filicinus, Panicum virgatum, Schoenoplectus americanus, Schoenoplectus pungens, Amaranthus cannabinus, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Pluchea odorata (= Pluchea purpurascens), Spartina alterniflora, Spartina patens, Setaria parviflora, Lythrum lineare, Asclepias</i><i> incarnata, Ptilimnium capillaceum</i>, and <i>Carex hormathodes</i>. |

This tidal alder - black willow shrubland of the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Plain occurs on the upper reaches of freshwater tidal rivers, forming a zone between adjacent freshwater tidal marshes and uplands. Microtopography is variable, ranging from pronounced hummocks and hollows to flat. The substrate is partially decomposed peat with sand or silt admixed. The shrub canopy is relatively open and dominated by <i>Salix nigra</i>, or mixed with other shrubs such as <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis, Acer rubrum, Acer negundo, Alnus serrulata, Cornus amomum, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Corylus americana, Ilex verticillata, Lindera benzoin, Rosa palustris</i>, and <i>Viburnum dentatum</i>. Vines include <i>Mikania scandens, Apios americana</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>. The herbaceous layer is relatively diverse and is comprised of <i>Symphyotrichum novi-belgii, Boehmeria cylindrica, Galium obtusum, Hibiscus moscheutos, Impatiens capensis, Geum canadense, Cinna arundinacea, Leersia oryzoides, Peltandra virginica, Pilea pumila, Pilea fontana, Polygonum arifolium, Polygonum punctatum, Polygonum sagittatum</i>, and <i>Thalictrum pubescens (= Thalictrum polygamum)</i>.</i> |

Iva frutescens / Spartina patens Shrubland

This maritime shrubland of the eastern Atlantic states occurs in association with salt marshes. In its natural condition, this community forms the ecotone between high salt marsh and adjacent upland vegetation. It also occurs in patches on areas of slightly higher elevation within the salt marsh or on spoil mounds adjacent to ditches. <i>Iva frutescens</i> is the most characteristic and dominant shrub species. <i>Spartina patens</i> is a characteristic and usually abundant grass, often occurring as a monoculture beneath the shrub canopy. Other common herbaceous associates include <i>Distichlis spicata</i> and <i>Spartina alterniflora</i>; <i>Juncus gerardii</i> may also occur at the northern end of the range. Other less common associates may include <i>Cuscuta gronovii, Limonium carolinianum, Lythrum lineare</i>, and <i>Solidago sempervirens</i>. The vegetation is characterized by an open and relatively evenly spaced shrub stratum of short stature, rarely exceeding one meter in height, with a well-developed herbaceous layer, reflecting an intergrading of this community with the adjacent high salt marsh. Storm-induced disturbance causes periodic die-back of the shrubs restricting the extent of their spread. |
