Black and gray alder can survive here. The stilt roots, which are formed due to the changing water level, have a special feature: in the spherical root nodules, ray fungi live in symbiosis with the alder and can bind atmospheric nitrogen. Well-supplied with nitrogen and "feet in the water", its leaves burst with vigor in the summer.
