Name: Acer saccharum - Betula spp. - Fagus grandifolia Successional Forest
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is an early-successional variant of the widespread typic northern hardwood forest (CEGL006252) dominated by a monotypic canopy of <i>Acer saccharum</i> and/or some combination of young, small-diameter <i>Acer saccharum</i><i>, </i><i>Fraxinus americana</i><i>, </i><i>Prunus serotina</i><i>, </i><i>Betula alleghaniensis</i><i>, </i><i>Fagus grandifolia</i>, and/or <i>Betula papyrifera</i>. A disturbed shrub layer may be present with exotics or, more commonly, there is no shrub layer. The herbaceous layer is patchy and most often consists of a mix of ferns, clubmosses (Lycopodiaceae), and other herbs. This community arises from cutting, farming, or extended grazing. It occurs on acidic soils in central New England and at lower elevations in northern New England and upstate New York.
