Name: Picea rubens - (Betula alleghaniensis, Aesculus flava) / Viburnum lantanoides / Oxalis montana - Solidago glomerata Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association occurs in the broad elevational transition zone between spruce - fir and northern hardwoods in the Southern Blue Ridge (approx. 4600-5100 feet). The canopy is comprised of Picea rubens codominating with the deciduous species Betula alleghaniensis, Fagus grandifolia, and Aesculus flava, occurring singly or in combination. At higher elevations, Abies fraseri may be a minor canopy component. The shrub stratum is open to absent. Viburnum lantanoides is a common shrub, and Acer pensylvanicum and Amelanchier laevis often occur as small trees. The herbaceous stratum is lush and diverse. Typical herbs include Oclemena acuminata (= Aster acuminatus), Carex pensylvanica, Dryopteris campyloptera, Dryopteris intermedia, Maianthemum canadense, Oxalis montana, Solidago glomerata, and Rugelia nudicaulis (in the Great Smoky Mountains). This association occurs on steep slopes and protected ridges, over shallow, stony soils.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24688.PICEARUBENSBETU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
