Name: Acer rubrum - (Chamaecyparis thyoides) / Rhododendron maximum Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This red maple swamp of southern New England occurs in peaty depressions. Acer rubrum dominates the canopy. The understory is dominated by Rhododendron maximum. Other shrubs that may occur include Rhododendron viscosum and Vaccinium corymbosum. The herbaceous layer is poorly developed as a result of the thick evergreen shrub layer; herbs that may occur include Carex folliculata, Cornus canadensis, and Gaultheria hispidula. At least some occurrences have been altered from their original composition by the heavy logging of Chamaecyparis thyoides, but in others, Chamaecyparis thyoides has always been absent.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26534.ACERRUBRUMCHAMA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
