Name: Cornus spp. - Salix spp. - Vaccinium corymbosum - Rhamnus alnifolia - Toxicodendron vernix Fen Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This tall-shrub swamp or poor fen type is found in kettle lake areas from southern parts of the Great Lake states and northern parts of adjacent central states of the midwestern United States. Stands are found in kettle lakes associated with kettle-kame-end moraine topography. Soils are saturated peat. The tall-shrub zone occupies the most consolidated peat. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrubs, with at least 25% cover, and a fairly continuous covering of sphagnum moss. Herbaceous cover is variable, and tree cover is less than 10%. The dominant shrubs are <i>Aronia melanocarpa, Cornus sericea, Gaylussacia baccata, Ilex verticillata, Ilex mucronata, Toxicodendron vernix</i>, and <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i>. A sphagnum mat is fairly continuous. The herbaceous layer is not well characterized. The exotic shrub <i>Frangula alnus</i> can be problematic.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33848-{973464EB-F4E4-41EE-ABB0-1E2705EE6C2F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
