Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides - Acer rubrum / Lycopus spp. Swamp Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This seasonally flooded Atlantic white-cedar swamp occurs along streamsides, pond borders, and wettest portions of swamp basins in New England and possibly elsewhere. Seasonal overbank flow makes these swamps more nutrient-rich than other Atlantic white cedar swamps. The canopy is generally codominated by <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. The shrub layer is variable and often includes <i>Vaccinium corymbosum, Clethra alnifolia, Ilex verticillata, Lyonia ligustrina</i>, and occasionally <i>Frangula alnus, Alnus incana ssp. rugosa</i>, and <i>Rhododendron viscosum</i>. The herbaceous layer is diverse and robust including <i>Lycopus uniflorus, Lycopus virginicus, Lycopus americanus, Osmunda regalis, Bidens</i> spp., <i>Thelypteris palustris, Carex stricta</i>, and <i>Triadenum virginicum</i>. Additional species occurring less frequently include <i>Peltandra virginica, Sagittaria latifolia, Sparganium</i> spp., <i>Leersia oryzoides, Boehmeria cylindrica, Lysimachia terrestris, Carex folliculata, Impatiens capensis</i>, and <i>Typha latifolia</i>. The key diagnostic characteristic of this association is the robust and diverse herb layer of these Atlantic white-cedar swamps.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35008-{79DE91C5-40B2-47B8-9A34-533DA002C9E3} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
