Name: Pinus strobus - Tsuga canadensis Great Lakes Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This white pine - hemlock forest type is found in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. Stands occur on acidic, nutrient-poor, usually moderately well-drained soils such as sandy loams. Generally, <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> and <i>Pinus strobus</i> are codominant, but other common associates include <i>Fagus grandifolia, Acer rubrum, Betula lenta, Betula alleghaniensis</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>. <i>Quercus rubra</i> becomes more prevalent in the south. Typical shrubs include <i>Acer spicatum, Hamamelis virginiana</i>, and <i>Acer pensylvanicum</i>. The herbaceous layer may be sparse and generally depauperate, including <i>Trientalis borealis, Cypripedium acaule, Maianthemum canadense, Gaultheria procumbens, Clintonia borealis</i>, and <i>Lycopodium</i> spp. Diagnostic features include the dominance of both <i>Pinus strobus</i> and <i>Tsuga canadensis</i>, with a sparse, subboreal ground layer.
