CEGL002302 Bedrock - Boulder Rivershore Vegetation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Bedrock - Boulder Rivershore Vegetation
Colloquial Name: Rivershore Bedrock - Boulder Vegetation
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This bedrock-boulder rivershore community type is found in the upper Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and perhaps elsewhere. Stands are found on rivers where scouring by ice or flooding creates a sparsely vegetated zone along the river. Substrate can be a variety of rocky types, including sandstone and various igneous and metamorphic rocks. The vegetation of this type has not yet been characterized.
