Description: This calcareous fen shrubland is characterized by hummocky microtopography and dense patches of shrubs with small interspersed graminoid openings. A portion of the water budget is comprised of strongly minerotrophic seepage water. Substrate is typically woody peat. Shrubs like Cornus amomum, Cornus sericea, and Salix spp. (Salix candida, Salix petiolaris, Salix serissima, and Salix discolor) are dominant and very characteristic of this association. Other shrubs include Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Pentaphylloides floribunda), Alnus incana, Toxicodendron vernix, Myrica gale, and Viburnum dentatum. Carex stricta is a characteristic sedge; other herbaceous associates include Carex aquatilis, Eupatorium maculatum, Solidago patula, Solidago uliginosa, Spiranthes cernua, Trollius laxus, Thelypteris palustris, Muhlenbergia glomerata, Parnassia glauca, Drosera rotundifolia, Carex lacustris, Ludwigia palustris, Equisetum fluviatile, and Deschampsia caespitosa.
