Name: Picea glauca - Abies balsamea - Populus tremuloides / Mixed Herbs Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This spruce - fir - aspen forest is found in the subboreal region of the western Great Lakes area of the United States and Canada and elsewhere in parts of central Canada. Stands occur on deep, well-drained to rapidly drained, moist, fine-textured mineral soils. Loams are the most common, but silts and clays are also possible. The overstory is a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees. Species composition is varied. The most abundant tree species are <i>Abies balsamea, Acer rubrum, Picea glauca, Pinus strobus, Populus tremuloides</i>, and <i>Populus balsamifera</i>. The sapling/shrub layer is usually moderately well-developed. <i>Acer spicatum, Corylus cornuta, Rosa acicularis, Rubus pubescens</i>, and saplings of <i>Abies balsamea</i> are the most commonly encountered in this stratum. Herb diversity is usually high. <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Symphyotrichum ciliolatum, Eurybia macrophylla, Clintonia borealis, Cornus canadensis, Galium triflorum, Maianthemum canadense, Mitella nuda</i>, and <i>Trientalis borealis</i> are typical of this community. A Lake Superior clayplain variant may occur in northern Wisconsin.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31383-{CCDA1102-3B6B-4097-9CEC-2B00C09B7C5B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 24
