Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Norway Spruce Forest Plantation
Colloquial Name: Norway Spruce Plantation
Hierarchy Level: Cultural Subtype
Type Concept: These plantation forests are dominated by the exotic species Picea abies, which typically makes up 70-100% of the canopy. The understory is typically sparse with little, if any, spruce regeneration. Hardwood regeneration and herbaceous species composition tend to reflect the pre-plantation forest types. In the Southeast this occurs as experimental plantations.
