Comm #12901	Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani Temperate Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.32337.CEGL002623	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This relatively widespread wetland occurs on pond and lake margins, and in backwater areas. It also occupies basins where the water table may remain relatively high, but which can drop below the soil surface late in the growing season. Elevations range from sea level in coastal areas to 2045 m (6700 feet) in the Rocky Mountains. Stands are flooded for most or all of the growing season. Stands can have water from 0 (exposed soil) to approximately 1.5 m deep, but usually are less than 1 m. Within a stand, water levels can vary by up to 1 m during the year. The water can be fresh to mildly saline. Soils are deep, poorly drained muck, peat, or mineral. This association is often a monotypic stand of <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i>, but is also often mixed with one or two other <i>Schoenoplectus</i> species. This association is described as only those stands where <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Schoenoplectus validus; = Scirpus validus)</i> is the dominant bulrush. <i>Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus)</i> may be present, but only in subdominant amounts. Other species are largely absent or present in limited amounts and include <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex buxbaumii, Carex utriculata, Eleocharis palustris, Nuphar polysepala (= Nuphar lutea ssp. polysepala), Polygonum</i> spp., <i>Potamogeton</i> spp., <i>Mentha arvensis</i>, and <i>Galium triflorum</i>. Adjacent deeper water sites are typically dominated by <i>Typha latifolia</i>, while drier sites support herbaceous communities dominated by <i>Carex</i> spp., <i>Poa pratensis</i>, or other grasses.

Comm #12904	Persea palustris / Morella cerifera Maritime Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.19998.PERSEAPALUSTRIS	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This forest occurs on peaty soils only slightly above sea level, in swales and seepage-fed areas adjacent to sand dunes. The canopy is sometimes open, depending on wetness and recency of disturbance by flooding, hurricane, or storm. Persea palustris is the canopy dominant. Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera) is common in the shrub layer. The herb layer has Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Woodwardia virginica, and Woodwardia areolata. Sphagnum spp. are common.

Comm #12908	Salix lutea / Rosa woodsii Shrubland » more details accession code: VB.CC.32467.CEGL002624	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	The association is found in dry regions of southeastern Oregon, southwestern Idaho, and Nevada at elevations ranging from 976 to 2440 m (3200-8000 feet). This association usually occurs in moderate width, V-shaped valleys on terraces and bars with sandy and silty soils that are up to 1 m above the adjacent channel's average high water line. Stream channels are mostly narrow, classified as Rosgen B2, B3, or B4, with low to moderate gradients (up to 5%). The water table is usually deep during late summer and near the surface at high water in the spring when flooding of terraces sometimes occurs. Mature, sometimes dense, <i>Salix lutea</i> (up to 5 m tall) clearly dominates this association, and the understory is usually dry and open. <i>Rosa woodsii</i> is prominent in the understory; both it and/or <i>Ribes</i> spp. (especially <i>Ribes aureum</i>, but also <i>Ribes inerme</i>) usually have greater than 20% cover. Herbaceous cover is variable and no species has consistently high cover; more than half of the ground is unvegetated and covered with a layer of leaf litter. <i>Poa pratensis</i> is the most common understory species. On periodically flooded stream bars, this association might be naturally disturbance-induced. Within <i>Salix lutea</i> stands, heavy livestock grazing can promote <i>Rosa woodsii</i> and <i>Ribes aureum</i>.

Comm #12910	(Pinus strobus, Quercus rubra) / Danthonia spicata Acidic Bedrock Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.36623.CEGL005101	Midwestern Ecology Working Group...	0	This acidic bedrock glade and woodland occurs in the Upper Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. These glades occupy upper portions above the granitic bedrock shorelines or on rocky openings. Shrubs and scattered trees dominate the woody canopy layers; the tree canopy may approach woodland physiognomy. Trees include <i>Betula papyrifera, Pinus banksiana, Pinus resinosa, Pinus strobus</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>. The shrub layer contains <i>Diervilla lonicera, Juniperus communis</i>, and, less frequently, <i>Physocarpus opulifolius</i>. The dwarf-shrub <i>Arctostaphylos uva-ursi</i> may also be present. The herbaceous layer contains <i>Agrostis hyemalis, Campanula rotundifolia, Danthonia spicata, Deschampsia caespitosa, Chamerion angustifolium (= Epilobium angustifolium), Poa compressa, Sibbaldiopsis tridentata (= Potentilla tridentata)</i>, and <i>Vaccinium angustifolium</i>. Other common herbaceous species include <i>Maianthemum canadense, Melampyrum lineare, Oryzopsis asperifolia, Pteridium aquilinum</i>, and <i>Trientalis borealis</i>. Moss and lichen cover may be substantial.
