Name: Larix laricina - Thuja occidentalis Swamp Forest
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This lowland white-cedar - tamarack swamp forest is found in the central and upper midwestern United States and Canada (Great Lakes region). Stands occur where water seeps from the ground. The water is moderately to highly mineralized with circumneutral pH. Soils are usually organic but may be mineral. The canopy is heavily dominated by <i>Thuja occidentalis</i>, sometimes to the exclusion of other trees, but can also be dominated by <i>Larix laricina</i>. Other tree species that may be present include <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Betula alleghaniensis</i>. The ground layer may be dominated by mosses.
