Name: A.2014
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance is found in the West and Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions of eastern Texas and possibly adjacent areas of western Louisiana and Arkansas. Stands in this alliance occur in slight topographic depressions or shallow ponds on Pleistocene high terraces. These forests are considered to be seasonally flooded since during average years they hold water for a portion of the growing season, albeit for very short duration. These areas may be best thought of as "flatwoods" as the source of the water in the depressions results from precipitation. These areas are dominated by ~Quercus stellata$ and ~Pinus taeda$ with average canopy cover of 80% or greater. No other tree species are present in the canopy of documented examples. The understory is very open to sparse and contains ~Chasmanthium sessiliflorum$ and ~Chasmanthium laxum$ and relatively few additional species.
