CEGL003894 Alnus serrulata Interior Wet Shrubland
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Hazel Alder Interior Wet Shrubland
Colloquial Name: Interior Alder Wet Shrubland
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: Stands of this temporarily flooded shrubland are dominated by Alnus serrulata. It occurs in the Interior Low Plateau, Piedmont, and Crosstimbers, and is possible in the upper West and East Gulf coastal plains. States of occurrence likely include Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Kentucky. More information is needed to adequately describe and evaluate the distribution and rank of this association. It may require subdivision as more information becomes available.

Physiognomy and Structure: No Data Available
Floristics: Stands of this temporarily flooded shrubland are dominated by Alnus serrulata.
Dynamics: No Data Available
Environmental Description: Stands are typically found along the banks of streams and small rivers. The mechanical impacts of flowing water and hydrological effects of flooding serve to retard succession to tree-dominated vegetation types. These are successional stands which may be maintained in this condition indefinitely by these flooding events.
Geographic Range: This temporarily flooded shrubland occurs in the Interior Low Plateau, Piedmont, and Crosstimbers, and is possible in the upper West and East Gulf coastal plains. States of occurrence likely include Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
