Name: Quercus palustris - (Quercus bicolor) - Acer rubrum / Vaccinium corymbosum / Osmunda cinnamomea Wet Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association comprises a perched hardwood swamp occurring in the northeastern United States from New Hampshire to Virginia. These are closed to partially open, deciduous, seasonally flooded forests. They occur in basin areas that are seasonally wet (winter and early spring) with a shallow, perched water table, but tend to be dry in late summer and early fall. There is usually pronounced hummock-and-hollow microtopography. They are found on sandy loams or clayey soils of glacial lakeplains, or on soils with impermeable subsoils in unglaciated regions. There is generally some layer that impedes drainage. The canopy is codominated by <i>Quercus palustris</i> and/or <i>Quercus bicolor</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. Common associates include <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> and occasionally <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> or <i>Carya</i> spp. The shrub layer may be sparse or dense and contains <i>Ilex verticillata, Vaccinium corymbosum, Viburnum dentatum, Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>, and <i>Kalmia angustifolia</i>. The sparse herb layer may include <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Scirpus cyperinus, Thelypteris palustris, Thelypteris simulata, Carex frankii, Glyceria striata, Isoetes</i> spp., <i>Carex crinita, Onoclea sensibilis</i>, and <i>Osmunda regalis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34887-{19D13CA4-DC00-4CD8-8ECB-CF5C4CA6269B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
