Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This tall-shrub fen community type is found in the central midwestern United States. Stands are found on moraines, especially where gravels permit calcareous seepage, and occur both in lake basins and stream valleys. Soils are organic with calcareous seepage causing saturated conditions. The vegetation is dominated by tall shrubs 1-3 m in height, with a mixture of herbaceous species in the ground layer. Tall shrubs include <i>Cornus amomum, Cornus sericea, Toxicodendron vernix, Rhamnus lanceolata, Salix discolor, Salix sericea</i>, and <i>Viburnum lentago</i>. <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i> may also be present. Herbaceous species include <i>Cypripedium reginae, Filipendula rubra, Solidago patula</i>, and <i>Woodwardia virginica</i>. The prairie species component in this tall-shrub fen is a diagnostic characteristic.
