Name: A.234
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes a variety of natural and disturbance-related forests dominated by ~Liquidambar styraciflua$ and other hardwoods, including ~Quercus$ spp. and ~Carya$ spp. Included are upland forests dominated by ~Liquidambar styraciflua$ that follow logging, agricultural cropping, or natural disturbance in uplands of the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and other ecoregions. Some associations may have ~Quercus$ spp. and ~Carya$ spp., especially ~Quercus alba, Quercus falcata, Quercus nigra, Quercus phellos, Quercus velutina$, and ~Carya alba$. In addition, ~Pinus taeda$ may be present. Piedmont cove forests (of Alabama and likely other states) codominated by ~Liquidambar styraciflua$ and ~Liriodendron tulipifera$ are included within this alliance as well (although no association specifically accommodates them). These forests have ~Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus nigra$, and ~Acer rubrum var. rubrum$ as associated canopy species, with ~Vitis rotundifolia, Toxicodendron radicans$, and ~Smilax rotundifolia$ commonly present.
