Name: Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Celtis occidentalis - Tilia americana - (Quercus macrocarpa) Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This ash - elm lowland hardwood forest community type is found in the northern tallgrass region of the midwestern United States and Canada. Stands occur in stream and river valleys, on low plateaus, and along lake margins. The sites have seasonally high (within the rooting zone) water tables but do not flood regularly. The mineral soils are deep, fertile, and moderately well-drained to poorly drained. This community is dominated by deciduous trees that can tolerate the saturated soil conditions. The tree canopy is typically closed, and often has a mixture of several tree species. Among the most abundant are Celtis occidentalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Tilia americana. Quercus macrocarpa is often abundant in the prairie-forest border region. Other common tree species include Acer negundo, Ulmus americana, Betula papyrifera, and Populus tremuloides. The shrub layer is patchy and composed of both upland and lowland shrubs. The herbaceous layer contains a variety of herbs.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21646.FRAXINUSPENNSYL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
