Name: Quercus macrocarpa - Populus tremuloides / Aralia nudicaulis Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This bur oak - aspen forest type is found primarily in the northern tallgrass region of the United States and Canada. Stands occur on rolling topography with a variety of slopes and aspects. The soils are loamy and often deep, well-developed, and slightly acidic. The canopy is somewhat open to closed, but significant light typically reaches the forest floor. The overstory is dominated by <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i> and <i>Populus tremuloides</i> with <i>Betula papyrifera, Tilia americana</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i> of secondary importance. <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i> often has the largest individuals. There is a vigorous shrub layer between 1 and 2 m tall dominated by <i>Corylus cornuta</i>. Other species that are found in this stratum include <i>Prunus virginiana, Amelanchier alnifolia, Symphoricarpos occidentalis</i>, and <i>Viburnum opulus var. americanum</i>. The herbaceous layer is also well represented. The most abundant species is <i>Aralia nudicaulis</i>, with <i>Carex pensylvanica, Thalictrum dioicum, Sanicula marilandica</i>, and <i>Maianthemum canadense</i> often present.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30974-{83DCD5DC-0E1F-4E78-84FE-AE78996CE054} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
