G755 Eastern North American Riverine Wetland Vegetation Group

Type Concept Sentence: This eastern North American group consists of riverine wetlands with consistent and characteristic species such as Alnus serrulata, Carex torta, Elymus spp., Eupatorium spp., Panicum virgatum, Salix caroliniana, Salix interior (more Midwest), Solidago gigantea, and others.

Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Eastern North American Riverine Wetland Vegetation Group

Colloquial Name: Eastern North American Scrub & Herb Riverbed Wetland

Hierarchy Level:  Group

Type Concept: This eastern North American group consists of riverine wetlands. Even with this reduced concept, composition is variable enough that individual character species are somewhat difficult to isolate, but some reasonably constant species might include Alnus serrulata, Carex torta, Elymus spp., Eupatorium spp., Panicum virgatum, Salix caroliniana, Salix interior (more Midwest), Solidago gigantea, and others.
