It is indicative of cool and moist, old-growth conditions [7]. Common understory associates in many forest types include mountain maple (Acer spicatum), striped maple (A. pensylvanicum), beaked hazelnut (Corylus cornuta), leatherwood (Dirca palustris), prickly gooseberry (Ribes cynosbati), prickly currant (R. lacustre), red currant (R. triste), red raspberry (Rubus idaeus), serviceberries (Amelanchier spp.), American fly honeysuckle (Lonicera canadensis), partidgeberry (Mitchella repens), and scarlet elder (Sambucus pubens) [7,20,40]. In addition to the above-mentioned species, shrub layer associates in climax, eastern hemlock forests include alternate-leaved dogwood (Cornus alternifolia) and hobblebush (Viburnum alnifolium) [28]. Ground layer associates in many forest types include shining clubmoss (Lycopodim lucidulum), common woodsorrel (Oxalis montana), wild lily-of-the-valley (Maianthemum canadense), woodfern (Dryopteris spinulosa), and yellow beadlily (Clintonia borealis) [7,24]. Bryophytes and lichens that are common in the climax forests in which Canada yew occurs are feathermoss (Pleurozium schreberi), dicranum mosses (Dicranum spp.), Ptilidium pulcherrimum, and reindeer mosses (Cladonia spp.) [3]. Publications naming Canada yew as an indicator or shrub-layer dominant include the following: The principal plant associations of the Saint Lawrence Valley [7]. Wilderness ecology: virgin plant communities of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area [29].
