Name: Celtis laevigata - Ulmus crassifolia - (Fraxinus spp.) / Celtis pallida / Elymus virginicus Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This deciduous forest occurs on silty to clayey alluvial soils on stream terraces in southern Texas north of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Celtis laevigata var. laevigata and Ulmus crassifolia are generally the clear canopy dominants; Fraxinus berlandieriana, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii are usually present. Celtis pallida occurs either in a poorly defined subcanopy or in the shrub layer, which ranges from open to choked with woody vines such as Toxicodendron radicans, Smilax bona-nox, and Vitis mustangensis. Ground cover on well-developed level terraces is dense and grassy, dominated by Elymus virginicus, along with Chasmanthium latifolium, and Nassella leucotricha. Characteristic forbs include Clematis pitcheri, Stellaria prostrata, Dicliptera brachiata, Rivina humilis, Chaerophyllum tainturieri var. tainturieri, and Galium aparine. This community is similar to other communities in this alliance but differs in the presence of southern elements like Celtis pallida and the absence of subtropical elements that distinguish Celtis laevigata - Ulmus crassifolia - (Fraxinus berlandieriana) / Rivina humilis - Chromolaena odorata Forest (CEGL007752).  Accession Code: VB.CC.18098.CELTISLAEVIGATA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
