Name: Pinus strobus - Acer rubrum / Spiraea alba var. latifolia / Sanguisorba canadensis Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This mixed woodland occupies mafic seepage wetlands of the Southern Blue Ridge plateau in Virginia and possibly North Carolina. Dominant trees are <i>Acer rubrum, Pinus strobus</i>, and less frequently <i>Pinus rigida</i> in open (25-60% canopy cover) stands. The subcanopy of well-developed or mature stands is primarily <i>Acer rubrum</i>. Shrub layers are moderately dense to dense (40-80% cover); characteristic shrubs include <i>Spiraea alba var. latifolia, Alnus serrulata, Kalmia latifolia, Vaccinium corymbosum, Physocarpus opulifolius, Rhododendron viscosum, Lyonia ligustrina</i>, and <i>Spiraea tomentosa</i>. Herbaceous cover is variable and includes a number of species indicative if mafic conditions, particularly <i>Sanguisorba canadensis, Viola walteri, Helenium brevifolium</i>, and a narrow-leaved, apparently undescribed, <i>Aster</i> taxon related to <i>Symphyotrichum puniceum (= Aster puniceus)</i>. Other typical herbs include <i>Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Osmunda cinnamomea, Solidago uliginosa, Oxypolis rigidior, Thalictrum pubescens, Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, Viola cucullata, Rubus hispidus</i>, and <i>Scirpus expansus</i>.
