Name: Pinus banksiana - (Picea mariana) - Mixed Hardwoods / Sphagnum spp. Forest
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This jack pine swamp community is found in the upper Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. Stands are found on poorly drained lowland sites, including those on sand plains. This type appears to originate following a catastrophic burn in a Picea mariana swamp. The canopy is dominated by Pinus banksiana with varying amounts of Picea mariana. The shrub layer is dominated by ericaceous shrubs, including Chamaedaphne calyculata, Gaultheria hispidula, Ledum groenlandicum, Vaccinium angustifolium, and Vaccinium myrtilloides. Abies balsamea and Picea mariana may also occur in scrub form in this layer. Herbaceous species include Clintonia borealis, Coptis trifolia, Cornus canadensis, Maianthemum canadense, Maianthemum trifolium, and others. The moss layer contains a variety of Sphagnum spp. and feathermosses.
