Name: Acer saccharum / Ostrya virginiana / Brachyelytrum erectum Floodplain Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: Flashy, sugar maple-dominated floodplain forests on high-gradient or submontane portions of major rivers in northern New England. Floods tend to be short-duration and high-disturbance events. Soils are alluvial sands or sandy loams over coarser substrates, sometimes interspersed with buried organic layers. Acer saccharum dominates the canopy, with other upland trees including Quercus rubra and Betula alleghaniensis. Ostrya virginiana is a common smaller tree. Shrubs are minor. The herb layer is lush, and features Brachyelytrum erectum, Carex intumescens, Solidago caesia, and Danthonia spicata. Unlike other floodplain forests, ferns are limited.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19094.ACERSACCHARUMOS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
