Name: Tsuga canadensis - Betula alleghaniensis Swamp Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community is found in the central Great Lakes region of the United States and adjacent Canada. Stands occur on wet-mesic areas with imperfectly drained sandy loam/loam or silty clay soils that are often saturated. These areas occur on gentle slopes, drainageways, and bordering lakes and wetlands. The nutrient status is generally poor to medium. The overstory of this community is composed of conifers with a moderate amount of deciduous trees. <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> is usually the most abundant species with <i>Acer rubrum, Acer saccharum, Betula alleghaniensis, Pinus strobus</i>, and <i>Thuja occidentalis</i> less common. <i>Abies balsamea</i> in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. The shrub layer is not well-developed in mature stands with dense canopies, but shrubs are often abundant in disturbed or young stands. Shrubs that may be present include <i>Amelanchier</i> spp., <i>Corylus cornuta, Lonicera canadensis, Prunus pensylvanica</i>, and <i>Vaccinium</i> spp. Common herbaceous species include <i>Clintonia borealis, Coptis trifolia, Cornus canadensis, Dryopteris carthusiana, Maianthemum canadense, Trientalis borealis, Viola</i> spp., and others.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33771-{A83783DC-5815-492C-9130-9C09C06FEA25} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
