Name: A.3008
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance is a mixed canopy of ~Chamaecyparis thyoides$ and hardwoods that always include ~Acer rubrum$, as well as others such as ~Betula alleghaniensis$ in the northern portion of the range, and ~Diospyros virginiana, Nyssa sylvatica$ in more southerly occurrences. The shrub layer is characterized by ~Vaccinium corymbosum, Clethra alnifolia, Rhododendron viscosum$, as well as ~Ilex verticillata$ in the north and ~Magnolia virginiana, Leucothoe racemosa$ in the south. The herbaceous layer is generally more diverse and contains species indicative of higher nutrient levels than in other Atlantic white-cedar vegetation, including ~Symplocarpus foetidus, Triadenum virginicum, Bidens$ spp., ~Cornus amomum, Spiraea$ spp., ~Iris versicolor, Arisaema triphyllum, Carex intumescens, Sagittaria latifolia, Sparganium$ spp., and others. This vegetation occurs along water courses or in other basins influenced by surface water input in the spring.
