Comm #11451	Terminalia catappa Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.36476.CEGL007575	Areces-Mallea, A. E., A. S. Weak...	0	Disturbed areas, especially in lowland coastal zones, dominated by the exotic <i>Terminalia catappa</i>.
Comm #11452	Thespesia grandiflora Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.35001.CEGL007576	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	Forests on hill slopes, dominated by <i>Thespesia grandiflora (= Montezuma speciosissima)</i>. These forests are often nearly monospecific and are particularly prevalent following disturbance.
Comm #11453	Bambusa vulgaris Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.36334.CEGL007577	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	Bamboo thickets dominated by the naturalized <i>Bambusa vulgaris</i>, generally very dense and nearly monospecific in the 10- to 25-m tall canopy.

Comm #11455	Populus angustifolia / Salix ligulifolia - Shepherdia argentea Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.32716.CEGL000655	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This riparian woodland has an extremely limited distribution in western Colorado. Historically, it was more widespread and common in broad river valleys. Overutilization by livestock and alterations in the river flow regime have caused a decline in its distribution. Stands have an open, broad-leaved deciduous tree canopy dominated by <i>Populus angustifolia</i> with a broad-leaved deciduous shrub layer codominated by <i>Salix ligulifolia</i> and <i>Shepherdia argentea</i>.
Comm #11456	Laguncularia racemosa - Rhizophora mangle - Avicennia germinans - Conocarpus erectus Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.35795.CEGL007601	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	Most inland mangrove forest, least frequently tidally flooded, typically dominated by mixtures of small stands (mosaics) of the four nominal species of Caribbean mangroves.
Comm #11457	Quercus palustris - Quercus bicolor - Acer rubrum Flatwoods Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.21970.QUERCUSPALUSTRI	Midwestern Ecology Working Group...	0	This pin oak - swamp white oak flatwoods community type is found in the midwestern United States and adjacent Canada near Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. Stands occur on poorly drained uplands or in depressions on level glacial lake plains or outwash plains. There is a layer of acidic sand over a layer of impermeable or nearly impermeable clay resulting in a shallow, perched water table. Ponding is common during the wet seasons and droughts in the summer, leading to a complex of forest upland and wetland species. Deciduous hardwoods and softwoods predominate. Diagnostic species include Quercus bicolor, Quercus ellipsoidalis, Quercus palustris, and Acer rubrum. Other associates include Ilex verticillata and Ulmus americana. The herbaceous layer, which can be sparse, contains Carex muskingumensis, Glyceria striata, Maianthemum canadense, Mitchella repens, and Osmunda cinnamomea.

Comm #11460	Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Vaccinium caespitosum Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.32208.CEGL000340	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This widespread forest association occurs in the upper subalpine zone in the southern, central and northern Rocky Mountains. Sites are relatively cold, moist benches, basins, ridge slopes and high plateaus often in areas where cold air accumulates (frost pockets), but generally do not occur next to active streams. Substrates are well-drained, often gravelly, sand- to clay loam-textured soils. The vegetation is characterized by <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> and <i>Picea engelmannii</i> codominating the tree canopy with a dwarf-shrub layer with 5% or more cover of <i>Vaccinium caespitosum</i> in the understory. The evergreen needle-leaved tree canopy is open to moderately dense (30-75% cover). The upper tree canopy is typically codominated by <i>Abies lasiocarpa, Picea engelmannii</i> and mature seral tree species, with <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> and <i>Picea engelmannii</i> dominating the subcanopy and regeneration layers. Important seral species in the tree canopy are <i>Pinus contorta, Pinus albicaulis, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Larix occidentalis</i>, and sometimes <i>Populus tremuloides</i>. Undergrowth is variable depending on elevation and may be diverse, but it is an open to dense dwarf-shrub layer with 5% to abundantly more cover of <i>Vaccinium caespitosum</i>. Other relatively consistent shrubs and dwarf-shrubs present in low cover include <i>Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Betula glandulosa, Gaultheria humifusa, Juniperus communis, Linnaea borealis, Lonicera utahensis, Mahonia repens, Paxistima myrsinites, Ribes montigenum, Salix brachycarpa, Shepherdia canadensis, Spiraea betulifolia, Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Vaccinium myrtillus</i>, and <i>Vaccinium scoparium</i> (which may codominate). The open herbaceous layer is often dominated by <i>Calamagrostis rubescens</i>. Other relatively consistent species are <i>Arnica</i> spp., <i>Chamerion angustifolium, Carex</i> spp., <i>Fragaria</i> spp., <i>Galium</i> spp., <i>Lupinus argenteus</i>, and <i>Orthilia secunda (= Pyrola secunda)</i>. Higher elevation stands have herbaceous layers that are often dominated by alpine forbs and graminoids.
