Name: Acer rubrum var. trilobum - Liriodendron tulipifera / Ilex opaca var. opaca / Osmunda cinnamomea Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This streamside seepage vegetation is found in the southeastern Piedmont of North Carolina. It occurs along small, low-gradient streams. Sites are intermittently flooded, and nearly permanently saturated by water from the streambed as well as from upland runoff. Soils often have some silt content and usually have a clay layer at approximately one foot that inhibits infiltration. Characteristic canopy species include the nominals as well as Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica, Magnolia virginiana, Diospyros virginiana, and Quercus alba. The understory contains Ilex opaca var. opaca, Ilex verticillata, Euonymus americana, Itea virginica, Viburnum nudum var. nudum, Alnus serrulata, Amelanchier arborea, Cyrilla racemiflora, and Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia). The herbaceous layer is dominated by Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Scutellaria integrifolia, Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides, Smilax laurifolia, and Vitis rotundifolia, with many other species often present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23362.ACERRUBRUMVARTR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
