Name: Tsuga canadensis - Acer saccharum / (Hepatica nobilis var. acuta) Driftless Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This hemlock forest type occurs in the 'Driftless Region' of southern Wisconsin, of the United States. Stands occur on steep north-facing, thin soil slopes and cool protected ravines that are associated with cliffs in the unglaciated part of Wisconsin. The tree canopy is tall and dominated by Acer saccharum and Tsuga canadensis, with Betula alleghaniensis always present. Other associates may include Carya cordiformis, Fraxinus americana, Pinus strobus, Quercus rubra, and Tilia americana. The shrub/sapling layer is not well-developed and contains Acer spicatum, Hamamelis virginiana, Ostrya virginiana, Sambucus racemosa var. racemosa (= Sambucus pubens), and occasional Acer rubrum. The herbaceous layer contains a mix of southern and northern species; southern species include Circaea lutetiana ssp. canadensis (= Circaea quadrisulcata), Hepatica nobilis var. acuta (= Hepatica acutiloba), Hydrophyllum virginianum, Osmorhiza claytonii, and Podophyllum peltatum; the characteristic northern species include Eurybia macrophylla (= Aster macrophyllus), Clintonia borealis, Huperzia lucidula (= Lycopodium lucidulum), Maianthemum canadense, Mitchella repens, Streptopus lanceolatus var. longipes (= Streptopus roseus) and Trientalis borealis. Other common herbs include Arisaema triphyllum (= Arisaema atrorubens), Athyrium filix-femina, and Polygonatum pubescens.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22854.TSUGACANADENSIS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
