Name: Tsuga canadensis - Liriodendron tulipifera - Platanus occidentalis / Rhododendron maximum - Xanthorhiza simplicissima Wet Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association covers forested wetlands dominated by mesophytic species with an admixture of alluvial or wetland species, that occur on temporarily flooded alluvial flats and ravines in the Southern Blue Ridge, the Cumberlands, and in adjacent ecoregions. These dense forests usually occur over silty to sandy, acidic soils. The canopy is usually a mix of species that includes <i>Tsuga canadensis, Liriodendron tulipifera, Platanus occidentalis, Betula lenta, Acer rubrum</i>, and a variety of other mesophytic and upland species. It may range from strong dominance by <i>Tsuga</i> to its virtual absence. The shrub and herbaceous strata may be dense to open, but have components indicative of the temporarily flooded hydrology, thus separating this type from similar, non-wetland communities. <i>Rhododendron maximum</i> is a typical shrub and can form a dense subcanopy, but <i>Xanthorhiza simplicissima, Alnus serrulata</i>, or other species indicative of flooding are present. The herbaceous layer generally includes species indicative of flooding as well as mesophytic upland species.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35447-{4600BC2D-9D02-44BA-83EE-D25E30542D1E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 40
