Name: Sphagnum rubellum - Vaccinium oxycoccos Nonvascular Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This open sphagnum moss lawn occurs within floating or grounded peat mats in very acidic portions of open peatlands (pH <4) isolated from upland runoff or lake water. Sphagnum rubellum is strongly dominant. Vaccinium oxycoccos is prominent, despite its diminutive stature. Stunted Chamaedaphne calyculata is always present with variable cover. Additional dwarf-shrubs can include Kalmia polifolia, Kalmia angustifolia, Andromeda polifolia var. glaucophylla (= Andromeda glaucophylla), and occasionally Gaylussacia dumosa near the coast. Herbaceous species often include Sarracenia purpurea, Rhynchospora alba, Eriophorum virginicum, Drosera rotundifolia, and occasionally Eriophorum vaginatum var. spissum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28016.SPHAGNUMRUBELLU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
