Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides - Acer rubrum / Lycopus spp. Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This seasonally flooded Atlantic white-cedar swamp occurs along streamsides, pond borders, and wettest portions of swamp basins in New England and possibly elsewhere. Seasonal overbank flow makes these swamps more nutrient-rich than other Atlantic white cedar swamps. The canopy is generally codominated by Chamaecyparis thyoides and Acer rubrum. The shrub layer is variable and often includes Vaccinium corymbosum, Clethra alnifolia, Ilex verticillata, Lyonia ligustrina, and occasionally Frangula alnus (= Rhamnus frangula), Alnus incana ssp. rugosa, and Rhododendron viscosum. The herbaceous layer is diverse and robust including Lycopus uniflorus, Lycopus virginicus, Lycopus americanus, Osmunda regalis, Bidens spp., Thelypteris palustris, Carex stricta, and Triadenum virginicum. Additional species occurring less frequently include Peltandra virginica, Sagittaria latifolia, Sparganium spp., Leersia oryzoides, Boehmeria cylindrica, Lysimachia terrestris, Carex folliculata, Impatiens capensis, and Typha latifolia. The key diagnostic characteristic of this association is the robust and diverse herb layer of these Atlantic white-cedar swamps.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21652.CHAMAECYPARISTH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
