Name: Acer rubrum - Nyssa sylvatica High Allegheny Plateau, Central Appalachian Forest
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This acidic deciduous swamp occurs in the central Appalachian Mountains north of the Cumberland drainage in the Central Appalachians and High Allegheny regions, as well as the adjacent Cumberlands and Western Allegheny Plateau. This community occurs on substrates which are saturated for extended periods during the growing season but which rarely have standing water, including forested seeps, hillsides, streamheads, floodplain edges, and poorly drained depressions. Occurrences tend to be small. Characteristic trees are <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i>, with other associates including <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> and <i>Betula alleghaniensis</i>. The shrub stratum includes <i>Alnus serrulata, Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), Ilex verticillata, Vaccinium corymbosum, Rhododendron maximum</i>, and <i>Rubus hispidus</i>. Characteristic herbs include <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis, Carex folliculata, Carex trisperma, Carex intumescens, Carex stricta</i>, and <i>Poa trivialis</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. are typical.
