click to update datacart
Name: Acer rubrum / Rhododendron maximum Swamp Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This red maple swamp of southern New England occurs in peaty depressions. <i>Acer rubrum</i> dominates the canopy. The understory is dominated by <i>Rhododendron maximum</i>. Other shrubs that may occur include <i>Rhododendron viscosum</i> and <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i>. The herbaceous layer is poorly developed as a result of the thick evergreen shrub layer; herbs that may occur include <i>Carex folliculata, Cornus canadensis</i>, and <i>Gaultheria hispidula</i>. At least some occurrences have been altered from their original composition by the heavy logging of <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i>, but in others, <i>Chamaecyparis thyoides</i> has always been absent.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35040-{41EC4248-4C17-4863-81A7-191B18148CFA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
