Name: Cornus spp. - Salix spp. - Vaccinium corymbosum - Rhamnus alnifolia - Toxicodendron vernix Shrubland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This tall-shrub swamp or poor fen type is found in kettle lake areas from southern parts of the Lake States and northern parts of adjacent central States of the midwestern United States. Stands are found in kettle lakes associated with kettle-kame-end moraine topography. Soils are saturated peat. The tall-shrub zone occupies the most consolidated peat. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrubs, with at least 25% cover, and a fairly continuous covering of sphagnum moss. Herbaceous cover is variable, and tree cover is less than 10%. The dominant shrubs are Photinia melanocarpa (= Aronia melanocarpa), Cornus sericea (= Cornus stolonifera), Gaylussacia baccata, Ilex verticillata, Nemopanthus mucronatus, Toxicodendron vernix (= Rhus vernix), and Vaccinium corymbosum. A sphagnum mat is fairly continuous. The herbaceous layer is not well characterized. The exotic shrub Frangula alnus (= Rhamnus frangula) can be problematic.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21230.CORNUSSPPSALIXS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
