Scrub of Salix spp. and Myricaria germanica developed on the mineral sediments of banks, shoals and gravel bars of lowland to montane streams through the temperate zone, re-establishing after seasonal flooding or succeeding to riparian and gallery forest where the sediments stabilise.
Remark: Salix acutifolia scrub in Ukraine, occurring not only in floodplains, needs to be considered as potential new habitat.
