Subarctic Riparian Complex Loamy Flood Plains

Description

The reference state supports one community phase, which is distinguished by the developed structure and dominance of the vegetation and by their ecological function and stability. The reference community phase is closed tall scrubland.

This report provides baseline inventory data for this vegetation in this ecological site. Future data collection is needed to provide further information about existing plant communities and the disturbance regime that results in transitions from one community to another. Common and scientific names are from the USDA PLANTS database. Community phases are characterized by the Alaska Vegetation Classification System (Viereck et al., 1992).
