Name: Symplocarpus foetidus - Mixed Forbs Wet Meadow
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This community is found throughout the upper midwestern region of the United States and adjacent Canada, ranging to the Northeast, where it develops around spring heads and in broader areas of groundwater discharge. The peat layer is typically less than 0.4 m deep. Tree and shrub cover may vary, particularly from overhanging upland trees, but trees and shrubs rooted in the stand are less than 25% cover. Forbs dominate the community. <i>Symplocarpus foetidus</i> and <i>Angelica atropurpurea</i> are the dominant and indicative species in the Midwest; <i>Impatiens capensis</i> is characteristic in the East. Other forbs and ferns present include <i>Caltha palustris, Chelone glabra, Epilobium coloratum, Impatiens capensis (= Impatiens biflora), Pedicularis lanceolata, Pilea pumila, Saxifraga pensylvanica, Solidago patula</i>, and <i>Thelypteris palustris</i>. Graminoid cover is generally low, less than 25%, and may include <i>Carex bromoides, Carex comosa, Carex lacustris, Carex stricta</i>, and <i>Carex trichocarpa</i>.
