Name: Platanus occidentalis - Celtis laevigata - Liriodendron tulipifera / Lindera benzoin - Arundinaria gigantea / Amphicarpaea bracteata Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This forest occurs on infrequently flooded, base-rich alluvial terraces along small streams. It was originally described from the Bankhead National Forest in the Cumberland Plateau of northern Alabama, and also includes occurrences in the Ridge and Valley portion of the Chattahoochee National Forest of Georgia. In addition to Platanus occidentalis, Celtis laevigata, and Liriodendron tulipifera, other dominants of the closed canopy can include Acer negundo, Juglans nigra and Fraxinus pennsylvanica. Other canopy components can include Quercus shumardii, Quercus muehlenbergii, Carya glabra, Carya ovata, and occasionally Fraxinus americana. Midstory components include Carpinus caroliniana, Acer barbatum, Ulmus rubra, and Tilia americana. The understory is dominated by Lindera benzoin. Other understory components include Arundinaria gigantea, which may be dominant in patches, and Asimina triloba. The ground cover flora is variable in composition and cover. Ground cover components include Polystichum acrostichoides, Elymus virginicus, Verbesina occidentalis, Verbesina virginica, Verbesina alternifolia, Viola sp., Chasmanthium latifolium, Polygonum virginianum, and Boehmeria cylindrica. This community is reported to have a rich herbaceous flora in the spring.
