Name: Amelanchier canadensis - Viburnum spp. - Morella pensylvanica Scrub Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This tall maritime shrubland or scrub forest community characteristically replaces maritime forests that have been cleared. It occurs in the northeastern United States from New Jersey to New Hampshire and possibly Maine and Quebec, Canada. The community is variable in composition and generally includes <i>Amelanchier canadensis, Prunus serotina, Sassafras albidum, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Juniperus virginiana</i> in the canopy. The oaks <i>Quercus velutina, Quercus stellata, Quercus alba</i> may or may not be present. The shrubs <i>Morella pensylvanica, Aronia</i> spp., <i>Viburnum</i> spp. may form an understory or contribute substantial cover to the canopy. Vines are often prevalent, including <i>Smilax</i> spp., <i>Vitis</i> spp., <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse. These shrublands are usually very dense, and often maintained in their current state by constant winds and salt spray.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35023-{2560B2BB-56C0-4C2B-98BD-8BDE651CF11B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
