Name: NY Heritage: Successional northern hardwoods Reference: Ecological Communities of New York, 2nd Ed. Description: A hardwood or mixed forest that occurs on sites that have been cleared or otherwise disturbed. Characteristic trees and shrubs include any of the following: quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), big-tooth aspen (P. grandidentata), balsam poplar (P. balsamifera), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), or gray birch (B. populifolia), pin cherry (Prunus pensylvanica), black cherry (P. serotina), red maple (Acer rubrum), white pine (Pinus strobus), with lesser amounts of white ash (Fraxinus americana), green ash (F. pensylvanica), and American elm (Ulmus americana). Northern indicators include aspens, birches, and pin cherry. This is a broadly defined community and several seral and regional variants are known. White pine dominated examples are known from upstate New York (e.g., Saratoga County). Characteristic birds include chestnut-sided warbler (Dendroica pensylvanica), Nashville warbler (Vermivora ruficapilla) in young forests with aspen and birch seedlings, and yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) in mature aspen forests.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28809.NYHERITAGESUCCE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
