USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program Colonial National Historical Park COMMON NAME (PARK-SPECIFIC): SUCCESSIONAL TREE-OF-HEAVEN FOREST SYNONYMS USNVC English Name: Tree-of-Heaven Forest USNVC Scientific Name: Ailanthus altissima Forest USNVC Identifier: CEGL007191 LOCAL INFORMATION Environmental Description: These forests occur on rich substrates, in disturbed situations, on gently sloping uplands. Vegetation Description: Successional Tree-of-Heaven Forest includes stands dominated by the alien tree Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven). These forests occur on rich substrates, highly disturbed situations on slopes and in urban or developed areas. In Colonial National Historical Park, these stands may have a mix of Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) with an herb layer dominated by Microstegium vimineum (Nepalese browntop). Most Abundant Species: Stratum Lifeform Species Tree canopy Broad-leaved deciduous tree Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven) Characteristic Species: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven). Other Noteworthy Species: Information not available. Subnational Distribution with Crosswalk Data: State SRank Rel Conf SName Reference VA SNA . . [not crosswalked] . Local Range: Successional Tree-of-Heaven Forest is mapped as a single polygon in Yorktown Battlefield, just north of Wormley Pond. It covers 4.0 hectares (10.0 acres). Classification Comments: This mapping unit is distinguished by the dominance of Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven). Other Comments: Information not available. Local Description Authors: K. D. Patterson. Plots: None. Colonial National Historical Park Inventory Notes: Information not available.
