Description: This white pine - red maple swamp forest is found in the southern Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, ranging east in scattered locations. Stands occur on sites with at least a thin layer of organic material on the surface. Glacially deposited sand usually lies beneath the organic layer. The overstory is dominated by <i>Pinus strobus</i> and may contain <i>Acer rubrum, Betula alleghaniensis, Tsuga canadensis</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. Shrubs can be sparse but include <i>Alnus incana</i> and <i>Ilex verticillata</i>. Understory species include <i>Carex</i> spp., <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis</i>, and <i>Symplocarpus foetidus</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. may occur as a ground cover. In Wisconsin, common species include <i>Carex folliculata</i> and <i>Thelypteris simulata</i>, which are more common in the eastern United States.
