Name: Populus tremuloides - Populus balsamifera / Calamagrostis canadensis - Spartina pectinata Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This lowland aspen forest is found in the aspen parkland region of the United States (Minnesota and North Dakota) and the prairie provinces of Canada. Stands occur on wet, poorly drained soils with high water tables. The tree canopy is most often dominated by <i>Populus tremuloides</i>. <i>Populus balsamifera</i> is a component of most stands and may be codominant on the wettest sites. Other less constant associates include <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, or <i>Ulmus americana</i>. The abundance of the shrub and herb layers varies, depending on moisture. Generally, <i>Amelanchier</i> spp., <i>Cornus sericea, Cornus racemosa</i>, and <i>Corylus americana</i> are almost always present, the latter preferring somewhat drier conditions. Short shrubs include <i>Rosa blanda</i> and <i>Rosa acicularis</i>. Characteristic herbaceous species include <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Calamagrostis canadensis, Carex pensylvanica, Maianthemum stellatum, Fragaria virginiana, Galium boreale, Sanicula marilandica, Thalictrum dasycarpum, Rubus pubescens</i>, and <i>Solidago canadensis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31006-{A8EF6CB4-E810-4BEF-A091-97D83C541097} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
