Name: Populus tremuloides / Corylus spp. / Andropogon gerardii Woodland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This aspen woodland type is found in the aspen parkland region of the upper midwestern United States and adjacent Canada. Stands occur on level to rolling terrain. Soils are typically wet-mesic, but may range to dry-mesic. The canopy is open, and may either be somewhat dense with even-aged immature trees, have an irregular canopy of young and old trees, or have tall, even canopies of mature trees. The dominant canopy species is Populus tremuloides. In places Populus grandidentata and Populus balsamifera may dominate. Quercus macrocarpa, if present, is less than 20% cover. Ulmus americana is often present as small individuals, and Fraxinus pennsylvanica is sometimes present as an invader. The shrub/sapling layer is usually well-developed. Species present on drier sites include Amelanchier alnifolia, Corylus americana, Cornus foemina, Prunus virginiana, Rosa spp., and Rubus spp. On wetter sites, species include Betula pumila, Cornus sericea, Salix bebbiana, and Spiraea alba.
