Name: Pinus spp. - Picea abies - Acer rubrum - Liriodendron tulipifera Ruderal Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is currently described only from Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio. This forest community is found on generally flat sites. Since this community occurs where former conifer plantations are becoming decadent and succeeding to a mixed hardwood-conifer forest, there is often substantial downed trees and branches. Canopy gaps are frequent and many of the old conifer trees have sparse crowns. This mixed conifer-hardwood forest is formed when old conifer plantations become decadent and the conifers begin to die. Early-successional hardwood species, particularly <i>Acer rubrum, Liriodendron tulipifera, Prunus serotina</i>, and <i>Populus</i> spp., proliferate under the thinning conifer canopy. The conifer component is often one species, depending on the original plantation. <i>Pinus resinosa, Pinus sylvestris, Pinus strobus, Pinus virginiana</i>, and <i>Picea abies</i> are the most common at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The shrub stratum density varies. Where the canopy is thin and more light is allowed, the shrub stratum is often dense. Where the tree canopy is denser, the shrub stratum is usually sparse to moderate.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33971-{74F73E1C-165B-406B-868A-8A9C95108D12} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
