click to update datacart
Name: Acer saccharinum - Ulmus americana / Onoclea sensibilis Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This floodplain forest is currently described from higher terraces along the lower reaches of larger rivers of the northeastern United States where flood depth and duration are relatively less than immediately adjacent to the river channel. The canopy is strongly dominated by <i>Acer saccharinum</i>. <i>Ulmus rubra, Ulmus americana, Prunus serotina</i>, and <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> can occur in the subcanopy. <i>Populus deltoides</i> can occur sporadically, generally identifying locations of former sandy, drainage channels. The shrub layer is present, unlike adjacent areas on lower terraces. Species include <i>Viburnum recognitum, Viburnum dentatum, Lindera benzoin</i>, and <i>Cornus sericea</i>. The herb layer is strongly dominated by <i>Onoclea sensibilis</i> interspersed with lesser amounts of <i>Cinna arundinacea, Geum canadense, Chelone glabra, Impatiens capensis, Carex crinita, Carex lupulina</i>, and <i>Carex grayi</i>. Often occurs in association with <i>Acer saccharinum - Populus deltoides</i> floodplain forests, or on larger rivers than those supporting the <i>Quercus palustris - Acer rubrum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34652-{FA88B65E-C3A7-45CB-B04A-84E984508922} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
