Abstract

The vegetation of gravel bars in the Blaeberry River near Golden, B.C. was classified into six community types using six species groups derived by Braun-Blanquet techniques. The distribution of communities on the bars appeared to be controlled by variation in soil texture and water table depth. Successional development of communities found in xeric and mesic locations led to a community containing species common to the climax floodplain forest of the area. Communities found in wet depressions may not be successionally related to other bar communities because of frequent inundation and sediment deposition
