Name: Larix laricina - Acer rubrum / (Rhamnus alnifolia, Vaccinium corymbosum) Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This community is found in the central Great Lakes region, including southern Ontario, Canada and the northern parts of the central United States. Stands occur in minerotrophic conditions on glacial outwash drainages, stream headwaters, and kettle depressions. Tree canopy varies from open to closed canopy (25-100% canopy). Larix laricina is the dominant species, with at least 50% cover. Other canopy associates include Acer rubrum, Fraxinus nigra, Betula alleghaniensis and Pinus strobus. The shrub layer contains a diverse mix of species, including Photinia melanocarpa (= Aronia melanocarpa), Ilex verticillata, Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Pentaphylloides floribunda), Rhamnus alnifolia, and Vaccinium corymbosum (in the eastern parts of its range). Alnus incana, Lindera benzoin, Toxicodendron vernix, and Viburnum lentago may also be present. The herbaceous layer is also diverse, and includes Carex spp. (including Carex stricta), Calamagrostis canadensis, Impatiens capensis, Symplocarpus foetidus, Saxifraga pensylvanica, Thelypteris palustris and others. The Sphagnum layer is discontinuous to sparse.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27162.LARIXLARICINAAC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
