Name: Populus tremuloides - Populus balsamifera / Corylus americana Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes mesic and wet forests dominated by <i>Populus tremuloides</i> or <i>Populus balsamifera</i> in the Aspen Parklands areas of south-central Canada and the north-central U.S. A shrub layer is nearly always present. <i>Corylus americana</i> is very common. Associated shrubs include <i>Amelanchier alnifolia, Cornus sericea</i>, and <i>Salix</i> spp. Prairie grasses are uncommon due to the shade cast by the tree and shrub canopies. Stands are found on well-drained to poorly drained soils that remain wet or moist for much of the growing season.
