Name: Deschampsia caespitosa - Symplocarpus foetidus Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This forb-dominated acidic seepage wetland community is known from a single location on the Kittatinny Mountains of northern New Jersey where seepage water is diverted to the surface by a clay fragipan. The pH ranges from 4.5-4.7. The vegetation is dominated by Deschampsia caespitosa, Carex bromoides, Carex atlantica ssp. atlantica (= Carex atlantica var. incomperta), and Claytonia virginica var. hammondiae. Other less frequent associates include Symplocarpus foetidus, Osmunda cinnamomea, Maianthemum canadense, Viola cucullata, Kalmia angustifolia, Coptis trifolia, and Solidago puberula. A bryophyte layer dominated by Sphagnum species included the following species: Sphagnum bartlettianum, Sphagnum henryense, Sphagnum palustre, and Sphagnum recurvum. Cerastium biebersteinii, an exotic of European origin, also occurs in this vegetation.
