Complete Description:  The Persistent Shrub North PNV encompasses many different plant communities on a variety of sties; the common element is that the shrub communities are persistent over time and do not appear to be a sere of another PNV. The Persistent Shrub North PNV occurs on a variety of sites including steep subalpine slopes, avalanche tracks, tundra uplands, alpine treeline transitions, wet creek banks, and moderate, protected slopes beyond latitudinal treeline (Viereck et al 1992). Persistent shrub communities also occur on steep, south facing bluffs along major river systems in interior and southcentral Alaska.
