Name: Pinus banksiana - Populus tremuloides / Diervilla lonicera Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This jack pine - aspen forest community type is found in the northern parts of the midwestern United States and into central Canada. Stands occur on generally level sandy outwash plains or moderately sloping moraines. The soils are fresh to dry, deep, sandy loams, loams, and fine sands. In Manitoba, the soils tend to be somewhat more moist and fine. The canopy layer is a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees, with the conifers tending to be more abundant in the north. The canopy is typically dominated by Pinus banksiana and Populus tremuloides with lesser amounts of Abies balsamea, Betula papyrifera, Picea glauca, and Picea mariana. Tree density and crown spacing may be moderately dense to dense, but sufficient light penetrates to permit the growth of a vigorous shrub layer. Most shrubs are less than 1 m tall. The most common among these are Corylus cornuta, Diervilla lonicera, Linnaea borealis, Rosa acicularis, Rubus pubescens, and Vaccinium spp. The herbaceous layer is also typically quite rich with species such as Aralia nudicaulis, Eurybia macrophylla (= Aster macrophyllus), Cornus canadensis, Clintonia borealis, Streptopus lanceolatus var. longipes (= Streptopus roseus), Trientalis borealis, and Viola spp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22710.PINUSBANKSIANAP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
