Name: Betula papyrifera / Diervilla lonicera - (Abies balsamea) Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This paper birch forest is found in the subboreal region of the northern Great Lakes region of the United States and perhaps more widely in Canada. Stands occur on fresh to moist soils, coarse-textured, non-calcareous mineral soils. The soil texture is typically coarse loam. The canopy of this forested community is closed to moderately open. <i>Betula papyrifera</i> is the dominant canopy tree and can form nearly pure stands. <i>Populus tremuloides, Abies balsamea, Picea glauca</i>, and, especially in Canada, <i>Pinus banksiana</i> can also be found. Tree density can be high, but the growth form and size of the canopy dominants allow significant light to pass through. <i>Abies balsamea</i> is common to dense in the understory as are shrubs such as <i>Corylus cornuta, Diervilla lonicera, Rosa acicularis</i>, and <i>Taxus canadensis</i>. The herbaceous layer is similar to other dry-mesic to mesic northern communities. Species found in this layer include <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Eurybia macrophylla, Clintonia borealis, Cornus canadensis, Maianthemum canadense</i>, and <i>Trientalis borealis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31371-{2C9F0CE4-FBC3-44ED-B420-C347BFB124D6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
