Name: Fagus grandifolia - Acer rubrum / Vaccinium corymbosum Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This subhydric beech-dominated forest is known from the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in northern New Jersey, where it occurs on silt or clay silt that exhibits mottling below 5 cm. The canopy is dominated by Fagus grandifolia and Acer rubrum. Other canopy associates include Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus palustris, Quercus rubra, Quercus bicolor, and Nyssa sylvatica. The tall-shrub layer consists of Vaccinium corymbosum, Fagus grandifolia, Carpinus caroliniana, and Liquidambar styraciflua. The herbaceous layer is sparse, generally less than 15% cover, except where there are beds of Thelypteris noveboracensis. The forest is well-stratified, with canopy about 20-25 m, tree subcanopy, and tall shrubs. Litter and duff, as well as branches and logs, form most of the forest floor.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27798.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
