DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE

SPECIES: Sambucus racemosa ssp. pubens | Red Elderberry
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : S. racemosa ssp. pubens is found across North America from Newfoundland to Alaska [33]. It is restricted to moist, cool sites in the south and extends southward into California in the coastal mountains, into Arizona and New Mexico in the Rocky Mountains, and into Georgia and Tennessee in the Appalachian highlands [33,118]. The distribution by variety is as follows [35,42,63,69,75,78,102,113]: Var. melanocarpa is primarily found in the northern Rocky Mountains of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and into western Alberta and British Columbia. It also extends west into Washington and Oregon, and south into northeastern California and northern New Mexico and Arizona. Var. microbotrys occurs primarily from southern Wyoming, south to New Mexico then west into the Sierra Nevada and northern Coast ranges of California. Var. arborescens is found along the Pacific coast from the Aleutian Islands and southern Alaska south to the California coast ranges ending around San Francisco Bay. Var. leucocarpa extends from southeastern British Columbia, Montana, and South Dakota east through Canada to Newfoundland and the northeastern United States. It also extends south into the Great Lakes states and through the Appalachian Mountains into Georgia and Tennessee.

It may persist in climax deciduous forests of the East. Published classification schemes listing S. racemosa ssp. pubens as an indicator species or as a dominant part of vegetation in community types, habitat types, or plant associations are presented below. Field guide habitat classification system: For the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northeast Wisconsin [9] Ecoclass coding system for the Pacific Northwest plant associations [36] Plant associations of Region Two: Potential plant communities of Wyoming, South Dakota, Nabraska, Colorado, and Kansas [45] Aspen community types of the Intermountain Region [72] Aspen community types of Utah [74] Associated Species: S. racemosa ssp. pubens is so widespread that any complete list of associated species would be excessively long. A few of its common western associates include aspen, red alder, big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), snowberry (Symphoricarpos spp.), serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.), other shrubs, and many herbaceous species [12,71]. In northeastern hemlock-white pine (Tsuga canadensis-Pinus strobus)-northern hardwood forests, it grows with American fly honeysuckle (Lonicera canadensis), beaked hazel (Corylus cornuta), hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana), and winterberry (Ilex verticillata). In the Appalachians it is associated with striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum), mountain maple (Acer spicatum), hobblebush (Viburnum alnifolium), and winterberry [118].
