Description

Multiple plant communities occur within the reference state and the vegetation differs in large part due to flooding. The frequent flooding that occurs for long durations of time prevents the establishment of trees and development of forested plant communities. For this site, plant community 1.1 has the least frequent and shortest duration flood events. This community is characterized as closed tall scrub (Viereck et al. 1992) with the dominant tall scrub being feltleaf willow. If flooding becomes less frequent and lasts for shorter durations of time, balsam poplar and white spruce gain dominance and the ecological site shifts to the high flood plain.

The vegetation modeled for this site has limited data and is considered provisional.
