Name: Acer saccharum - Tilia americana / Ostrya virginiana - Carpinus caroliniana Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This maple - basswood forest community type is found in the north-central United States. Stands occur on flat to steep slopes on loamy soils derived from glacial till or, less commonly, loess. The soils are well-drained, fertile, and deep. The tree canopy of this community is moderately dense to dense and greatly affects the composition of the understory. Acer saccharum and Tilia americana are the most prevalent tree species. Other common tree species include Carpinus caroliniana, Carya cordiformis, Carya ovata, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Juglans nigra, Ostrya virginiana, Quercus alba, Quercus rubra, and Ulmus spp. The scattered shrub layer contains species such as Cornus alternifolia, Ribes spp., Sambucus spp., and Zanthoxylum americanum. Spring ephemerals are a distinctive part of the herbaceous layer. Common herbaceous species include Anemone quinquefolia, Claytonia spp., Dicentra cucullaria, Erythronium spp., Polygonatum pubescens, Sanicula odorata (= Sanicula gregaria), Trillium grandiflorum, and Uvularia grandiflora.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18788.ACERSACCHARUMTI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
