Name: Populus (tremuloides, balsamifera) - (Betula papyrifera) - Picea mariana / Alnus viridis Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This aspen deciduous forest type is found in the boreal regions of central and eastern Canada. The overstory is dominated by <i>Populus tremuloides</i> and/or <i>Populus balsamifera</i> with some <i>Betula papyrifera</i>. The high constancy of <i>Picea mariana</i> and lesser amounts of other boreal conifers distinguishes this type from other types. <i>Pleurozium schreberi</i> is a dominant nonvascular ground layer species. In the eastern part of its range, this type is often successional to black spruce-dominated spruce-fir flats (~<i>Picea mariana - Picea rubens / Pleurozium schreberi</i> Swamp Forest (CEGL006361)$$), except where frequent fires maintain the seral phase.
