Name: Fagus grandifolia - Acer saccharum - Betula alleghaniensis Forest Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This group covers forests around the northern Great Lakes, New England, and adjacent Canada dominated by some combination of northern hardwoods <i>Acer saccharum, Betula alleghaniensis, Fagus grandifolia, Fraxinus americana, Prunus serotina</i>, and <i>Tilia americana</i>, with presence of conifers, including <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> and <i>Pinus strobus</i>, or in the eastern part of the range, <i>Picea rubens</i> and minor but frequent <i>Abies balsamea</i>. They are characteristic of mesic soils, ranging from dry-mesic to wet-mesic settings. Conifers contain &lt;25% cover, and typically include <i>Tsuga canadensis</i> and <i>Pinus strobus</i>. Early-successional stages may be dominated by <i>Abies balsamea, Acer rubrum, Betula papyrifera</i>, or <i>Populus tremuloides</i>, often with <i>Pinus strobus</i>. With the exception of <i>Quercus rubra</i>, oaks are generally unimportant, and then usually on somewhat drier sites or sites with a relatively recent fire history.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40327-{6F066164-AC88-4CC7-85E2-2DA73815FE73} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
