Name: Liriodendron tulipifera - Acer rubrum - Robinia pseudoacacia Ruderal Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This early-successional or semi-natural vegetation occurs at approximately 700-1220 m (2300-4000 feet) elevation in the southern Appalachian Mountains and Appalachian Plateaus. Examples are typical of areas which were once clearcut, old fields, strip-mined, graded for road construction, or otherwise cleared. Stands are typically revegetated from root and stump sprouts and wind dispersed seeds. Stands have canopies which are typically dominated by <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i>, with lesser amounts of <i>Robinia pseudoacacia</i>. <i>Robinia pseudoacacia</i> is listed as a nominal to indicate the Appalachian distribution of this type. Associated species may vary. Some examples may contain <i>Pinus virginiana</i>. Tall shrubs (<i>Rhododendron periclymenoides, Rhododendron calendulaceum, Kalmia latifolia, Calycanthus floridus</i>) sprout from root stocks and occur as scattered, dense clumps, while shorter shrubs (<i>Gaylussacia ursina, Leucothoe fontanesiana, Rubus</i> spp., <i>Vaccinium</i> spp.) can have dense, continuous cover. Composition of the herbaceous stratum varies with site conditions and moisture regime and may contain field-adapted species, tolerant of high light intensities, as well as many shade-tolerant forest herbs. <i>Lycopodium digitatum</i> may also form dense cover.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35490-{E7985B33-F50E-43ED-B2B6-70E42C331928} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 25
