Type Concept: This floodplain forest of pondshores and lakesides occurs in northwestern New Jersey and in the Champlain Valley of New York and Vermont. The vegetation occupies the floodplains of large lakes or, in New Jersey, on the shores of solution sinkholes and glacial kettles that developed on dolomite with overlying glacial till surficial deposits. Soils are shallow silt loam over bedrock and somewhat poorly drained. The tree canopy is closed and dominated by Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Acer saccharinum, Acer x freemanii, Ulmus americana, and Quercus bicolor. Occasional canopy associates in New Jersey may include Acer rubrum, Carpinus caroliniana, Carya tomentosa, Carya cordiformis, Carya ovata, Celtis occidentalis, Juglans nigra, Liriodendron tulipifera, Platanus occidentalis, Quercus muehlenbergii, and Quercus rubra. A common shrub is Lindera benzoin; others may include Ilex verticillata, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Cornus racemosa, Cornus sericea, Staphylea trifolia (in New Jersey), Viburnum lentago, or Zanthoxylum americanum. Vines include Smilax rotundifolia, Toxicodendron radicans, and Vitis riparia. The herbaceous layer is variable but often includes Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex lupulina, Bidens frondosa, Laportea canadensis, Lobelia cardinalis, Thelypteris palustris, and Lysimachia terrestris. Other associates include Acalypha rhomboidea, Asclepias incarnata, Osmunda cinnamomea, Onoclea sensibilis, Scutellaria lateriflora, Carex retrorsa, Mentha arvensis, Phalaris arundinacea, and Impatiens capensis.
