Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is currently described only from Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio. This community is found on flat floodplains but in sites that do not receive regular scouring. Sites may be flooded periodically, but the soil surface is not saturated for much of the growing season. Soils are alluvial silt and sand. This wetland shrubland has a moderate to dense shrub canopy 2-5 m tall. Cornus racemosa, Baptisia australis, Amorpha fruticosa, and Salix spp. are dominant. Scattered trees common to the floodplain may be present. Platanus occidentalis, Populus deltoides, Salix nigra, and Acer negundo are among these. Herbaceous species are varied, but common ones are Alliaria petiolata, Phalaris arundinacea, Solidago canadensis, and Verbesina alternifolia.
