CEGL002408 Midwest Gravel Wash River Sparse Vegetation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Midwest Gravel Wash River Sparse Vegetation
Colloquial Name: Midwest Riverine Gravel Wash
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This gravel wash river type is currently reported only from southern Ontario and northern Ohio but may occur elsewhere in the central and upper Midwest. The type may be expected in rocky riverine areas with sedimentary rocks, but it is not clear how frequent such riverine gravel washes may be. Further characterization of the type is needed.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This gravel wash river type is currently reported only from southern Ontario and northern Ohio but may occur elsewhere in the central and upper Midwest. The type may be expected in rocky riverine areas with sedimentary rocks, but it is not clear how frequent such riverine gravel washes may be. Further characterization of the type is needed. This type does not extend into the Interior Highlands, where, e.g., ~Hamamelis vernalis - Cornus obliqua - Hypericum prolificum Riverscour Shrubland (CEGL003898)$$ is found in the Ozarks region.
