Name: Quercus palustris Pond Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes small, isolated, Quercus palustris-dominated seasonally flooded ponds in upland situations in the Ozarks of Arkansas. These ponds may also have Quercus lyrata, Liquidambar styraciflua, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Acer rubrum, and Nyssa sylvatica in the canopy. These canopy species also occur in the subcanopy and shrub layers with Acer rubrum, Diospyros virginiana, Gleditsia triacanthos, Ulmus alata, and possibly other species. In some occurrences, the shrub stratum is dominated by moderate coverage of Lyonia ligustrina var. foliosiflora; Cephalanthus occidentalis is also common. Smilax rotundifolia is common in the shrub layer and may be dominant. Herbaceous species that occur include Carex crinita, Carex lurida, Bidens aristosa, Helenium autumnale, Muhlenbergia sp., Polygonum sp., Eleocharis obtusa, Paspalum sp., Lycopus sp., and Sagittaria sp. Sphagnum lescurii provides dense coverage in the nonvascular layer.
