Name: Pinus strobus - Picea glauca - Betula papyrifera Subboreal Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These subboreal conifer - northern hardwood forests are found in the eastern cool temperate forest region, ranging from north-central Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan through central Ontario to eastern Canada. Stands are dominated by <i>Pinus strobus</i> and <i>Picea glauca</i>, often with <i>Betula papyrifera</i>, and with a prominent mix of northern hardwoods, such as <i>Acer rubrum, Acer saccharum, Populus grandidentata</i>, and <i>Prunus serotina</i>, along with the boreal hardwoods <i>Populus tremuloides</i> and <i>Betula papyrifera</i>. Other conifers include <i>Thuja occidentalis</i>. The shrub and herb layers are variable, decreasing as the percent conifer cover increases. Common shrub species include <i>Acer spicatum, Amelanchier</i> spp., <i>Corylus cornuta, Diervilla lonicera, Lonicera canadensis</i>, and <i>Prunus virginiana</i>. The moss layer ranges from discontinuous to continuous. These upland forests typically occur on mesic to wet-mesic (moist) sites, most commonly level, clayey sites, and sites with high local water tables on glacial lake deposits, stagnation moraines and tillplains. Wetter sites may contain <i>Alnus incana ssp. rugosa, Calamagrostis canadensis</i>, and <i>Equisetum</i> spp.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33987-{FB997707-82E8-46F6-B53F-564FEF49E83E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
