Name: Fagus grandifolia - Magnolia grandiflora - Quercus michauxii - Quercus nigra / Rhododendron canescens Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association includes forests of small perennial stream bottoms within the range of Pinus palustris; it is described from the central and eastern Florida parishes of Louisiana. This forest is found on knolls and broad flats over acidic silt/sand loams in floodplains of small streams, where it is subject to regular but brief flooding events, (typically 1-5 floods each year, lasting from 1-3 days each). These floods usually result from late winter and early spring rains. The forest is structurally and compositionally very much like Fagus grandifolia - Magnolia grandiflora - Pinus glabra - (Magnolia macrophylla) / (Illicium floridanum) / Hexastylis arifolia Forest (CEGL007460), as modified by LMS 11-97), but typically with a significantly greater prevalence of species such as Quercus nigra, Quercus michauxii, Quercus laurifolia, Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera, Acer rubrum, Carpinus caroliniana, Symplocos tinctoria, Halesia diptera, Viburnum dentatum, Persea borbonia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Berchemia scandens. The forest usually lacks some species occasionally present in CEGL007460, such as Pinus echinata, Quercus velutina, Euphorbia corollata (and others?). Species common here that are rare to uncommon in CEGL007460 include Rhododendron canescens and Itea virginica (others?).  Accession Code: VB.CC.18388.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
