Name: Pinus strobus - Tsuga canadensis Great Lakes Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This white pine - hemlock forest type is found in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. Stands occur on acidic, nutrient-poor, usually moderately well-drained soils such as sandy loams. Generally, Tsuga canadensis and Pinus strobus are codominant, but other common associates include Fagus grandifolia, Acer rubrum, Betula lenta, Betula alleghaniensis, and Quercus rubra. Quercus rubra becomes more prevalent in the south. Typical shrubs include Acer spicatum, Hamamelis virginiana, and Acer pensylvanicum. The herbaceous layer may be sparse and generally depauperate, including Trientalis borealis, Cypripedium acaule, Maianthemum canadense, Gaultheria procumbens, Clintonia borealis, and Lycopodium spp. Diagnostic features include the dominance of both Pinus strobus and Tsuga canadensis, with a sparse, sub-boreal ground layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24164.PINUSSTROBUSTSU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
