Name: Juniperus virginiana / Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda / Carex flava - Carex tetanica Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is a saturated wetland of turfy mineral soil occurring over calcareous bedrock, a fen supporting a number of calciphitic species. It occurs in New Jersey and possibly Pennsylvania. Juniperus virginiana occurs as scattered individuals over an herbaceous understory characterized by Carex flava, Carex tetanica, Juncus brachycephalus, Juncus dudleyi, Juncus nodosus, Equisetum fluviatile, Bromus kalmii, Castilleja coccinea, Sisyrinchium angustifolium, Solidago uliginosa, Eupatorium maculatum, Cypripedium parviflorum, Thelypteris palustris, Lobelia kalmii, Liatris spicata, Spiranthes lucida, Trollius laxus, Rudbeckia fulgida, Pedicularis canadensis, Pedicularis lanceolata, which is intermixed with the dwarf-shrubs Betula pumila and Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Pentaphylloides floribunda). This vegetation has been generally affected by grazing in the past, which in some cases continues to the present, and as such this vegetation is known locally as a pasture fen.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20678.JUNIPERUSVIRGIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
