Name: Cornus amomum - Salix spp. - Toxicodendron vernix - Rhamnus lanceolata Fen Shrubland
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This tall-shrub fen community type is found in the central midwestern United States. Stands are found on moraines, especially where gravels permit calcareous seepage, and occur both in lake basins and stream valleys. Soils are organic with calcareous seepage causing saturated conditions. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrubs 1-3 m in height, with a mixture of herbaceous species in the ground layer. Tall shrubs include Cornus amomum, Cornus sericea, Toxicodendron vernix, Salix discolor, Salix sericea, and Viburnum lentago. Vaccinium corymbosum may also be present. Herbaceous species include Cypripedium reginae, Filipendula rubra, Solidago patula, and Woodwardia virginica. The prairie species component in this tall-shrub fen is a diagnostic characteristic.
