Name: Quercus bicolor / Vaccinium corymbosum / Carex stipata Wet Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This perched swamp white oak swamp community from western New York occurs in shallow depressions on a forested hillside where the water table is locally perched above the surrounding groundwater level. The water level fluctuates seasonally; the swamp may be flooded in spring and nearly dry by late summer. The dominant tree is <i>Quercus bicolor</i>, which varies from nearly pure, open canopy dominance in areas that are more permanently saturated to more closed in seasonally dry areas. The canopy may include <i>Acer rubrum, Pinus rigida, Pinus strobus, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Quercus coccinea</i>. The shrub layer is fairly open, with scattered <i>Gaylussacia baccata, Rhododendron periclymenoides, Vaccinium corymbosum</i>, and <i>Viburnum recognitum</i>. The herbaceous and moss layers may be sparse under more closed canopy or more extensive in saturated, open canopy, where <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. may form extensive carpets mixed with <i>Carex stipata, Glyceria striata, Scirpus cyperinus, Thelypteris palustris</i>, and the woody vine <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34888-{2BCC2177-97C1-425F-B25E-5C81A298ABAD} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
