Name: Acer rubrum / Carex lacustris Wet Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This red maple swamp occurs in somewhat enriched conditions in central and southern New England. Enrichment is derived from groundwater seepage through calcareous bedrock or marine silts. Soils are seasonally saturated and vary in texture from muck to silt loam covered with organic matter or sometimes peat. <i>Acer rubrum</i> is dominant in a somewhat open canopy. The shrub layer is generally sparse and includes <i>Alnus incana ssp. rugosa, Viburnum lentago</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. The herbaceous layer is characterized by tall, dense patches of <i>Carex lacustris</i>. Other common herbaceous species include <i>Onoclea sensibilis, Eupatorium dubium, Impatiens capensis, Campanula aparinoides, Lysimachia ciliata</i>, and <i>Carex stricta</i>. Diagnostic features are dense <i>Carex lacustris</i> beneath an open canopy of <i>Acer rubrum</i>.
