Name: Pinus strobus - Acer rubrum / Spiraea alba var. latifolia / Sanguisorba canadensis Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Mixed woodlands occupying mafic seepage wetlands of the Southern Blue Ridge plateau. Dominant trees are Acer rubrum, Pinus strobus, and less frequently Pinus rigida in open (25-60% canopy cover) stands. The subcanopy of well-developed or mature stands is primarily Acer rubrum. Shrub layers are moderately dense to dense (40-80% cover); characteristic shrubs include Spiraea alba var. latifolia, Alnus serrulata, Kalmia latifolia, Vaccinium corymbosum, Physocarpus opulifolius, Rhododendron viscosum, Lyonia ligustrina, and Spiraea tomentosa. Herbaceous cover is variable and includes a number of species indicative if mafic conditions, particularly Sanguisorba canadensis, Viola walteri, Helenium brevifolium, and a narrow-leaved, apparently undescribed, Aster taxon related to Symphyotrichum puniceum (= Aster puniceus). Other typical herbs include Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Osmunda cinnamomea, Solidago uliginosa, Oxypolis rigidior, Thalictrum pubescens, Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, Viola cucullata, Rubus hispidus, and Scirpus expansus.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21776.PINUSSTROBUSACE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
