Name: Tsuga canadensis - Pinus strobus Swamp Forest Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance, found in the upper Great Lakes and northeastern United States and eastern temperate Canada, is characterized by wetland forests dominated by <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> or <i>Pinus strobus</i>. Other common tree species include <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Betula alleghaniensis</i>. The shrub layer is typically not well-developed with the exception of disturbed or young stands. Soils of this alliance vary from saturated muck to imperfectly drained mineral soils and vary from moderately alkaline to moderately acidic. Communities in this alliance occur in upland valleys created by bedrock depressions, on lower slopes, or adjacent to streams and lakes. In most cases they are transitional between wetland and upland communities.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38935-{007868E3-A54D-4825-AB46-F653D43DAF91} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
