Name: Quercus palustris - Acer rubrum / Osmunda cinnamomea Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association comprises a perched hardwood swamp occurring in the eastern United States. These are closed to partially open, deciduous, seasonally flooded, forests that occur in basin areas that are seasonally wet (winter and early spring) with a shallow, perched water table, which tend to be dry in late summer and early fall. There is usually pronounced hummock-and-hollow microtopography. They are found on sandy loams or clayey soils of glacial lakeplains. There is generally some layer that impedes drainage. The canopy is codominated by Quercus palustris and/or Quercus bicolor and Acer rubrum. Common associates include Nyssa sylvatica and occasionally Tsuga canadensis or Carya spp. The shrub layer may be sparse or dense and contain Ilex verticillata, Vaccinium corymbosum, Viburnum dentatum, Cephalanthus occidentalis, and Kalmia angustifolia. The sparse herb layer includes Osmunda cinnamomea, Scirpus cyperinus, Thelypteris palustris, Thelypteris simulata, Carex frankii, Glyceria striata, Isoetes spp., Carex crinita, Onoclea sensibilis, and Osmunda regalis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24590.QUERCUSPALUSTRI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
