Name: Populus tremuloides - Betula papyrifera - (Acer rubrum, Populus grandidentata) Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This aspen - birch - maple forest community is found in the upper midwestern United States and southern and central Canada. Sites are on level to rolling topography, and on upper slopes or plateaus or in valley bottoms. The substrate is derived from glacial outwash, lacustrine deposits, or moraines. The soil is typically deep, sandy loam or loamy sand and well-drained. This deciduous forest community has a moderately closed canopy usually dominated by Populus tremuloides and Betula papyrifera. Acer rubrum and Populus grandidentata may be absent to dominant. Other minor components of the overstory may include Abies balsamea, Pinus resinosa, Pinus strobus, Picea glauca, and Quercus rubra. The shrub layer is approximately 2 m tall and often well-developed. The most abundant species are Acer spicatum, Amelanchier spp., Corylus cornuta, Diervilla lonicera, and Rosa acicularis. Other shrubs present include Lonicera canadensis, Rubus pubescens, Vaccinium angustifolium, and Vaccinium myrtilloides. The herbaceous layer tends to contain many species. Common species are Aralia nudicaulis, Eurybia macrophylla (= Aster macrophyllus), Clintonia borealis, Maianthemum canadense, Trientalis borealis, and Viola spp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23146.POPULUSTREMULOI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
