The streambank habitat

Below is a list of ninety-one kinds of plants I found along the 300 yards or so on both sides of the Sawyer Kill between the two bridges between Sept 5 and Sept 15. Three more have been added on October 1. The list is grouped by natives vs not, with Smoothcap moss (genus Atrichum) unclassified. Seventeen of the sixty natives had been planted by me from a nursery, most in 2023. Two species, denoted as t23, had been transplanted in 2023 from elsewhere on the farm. Forty-one of the natives, then, had been there without my interference/intervention.
As other plants are found I will add them, but note after the name of each when it was added.
The inventory here follows the same method as the other journal entry posted earlier about the ruderal habitat, but the habitat described here developed in a different way. When we moved to this farm thirty years ago the long-ungrazed cattle pasture on the left bank of the Sawyer Kill came almost to the lip of the steep bank. We decided to set electric fencing fifteen feet from the lip and not mow outside it, to let whatever volunteered grow into into a "streambank buffer" that would slow bank erosion, give cover to wildlife and keep sheep manure runoff out of the (un-pristine) stream.
Through my carelessness, the big trees (native and non-native) along the stream gradually found themselves standing in a dense tangle of invasive non-native plants. Chief contributors/offenders are Japanese barberry, Privet (species uncertain), Japanese honeysuckle, Multiflora rose, Winged euonymus, Oriental bittersweet and Autumn olive (which I confess to have transplanted a couple of decades ago). Sad to say, I did not realize the harm of this situation until hearing a webinar in spring 2023 about native plants and then reading Douglas Tallamy. Since then I've set about to take out non-natives and replace them with natives. In the process a number of native species already resident but often overwhelmed came to light. Some native ground covers and ramblers (Riparian grape, Virginia Creeper and Poison Ivy) were holding their own amidst Japanese honeysuckle, Bittersweet and Ground ivy.
The list is a snapshot of what we'll be working with and against to get natives on a stronger footing over the next few years.
I am most grateful to i Nat and the i Nat community of teachers and identifiers.
