DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
SPECIES: Cornus sericea | Red-Osier Dogwood 



GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : 
Red-osier dogwood occurs from Alaska and the Yukon Territory east to
Labrador and Newfoundland.  It extends south to Virginia in the East, to
Kansas in the Great Plains, to northern Mexico in the Rocky Mountains,
and through California on the West Coast [52,53,54,71,100].  In the
northeastern and midwestern United States it is common in previously
glaciated areas; south of these areas it occurs locally where site
conditions are favorable [142].

HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 



Red-osier dogwood occurs most frequently as a riparian species within
various forest, woodland, and grassland habitat types.  It is a seral
species in moist forest habitats and persists in openings.  Published
classification schemes listing red-osier dogwood as an indicator species
or a dominant part of the vegetation in community types (cts), habitat
types (hts), plant associations (pas), riparian zone associations
(rzas), forest ecosystem associations (eas), dominance types (dts), or
riparian site types (rst) are presented below.
