Name: Quercus macrocarpa - Quercus bicolor - (Carya laciniosa) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This floodplain forest alliance is found in the midwestern United States. The tree canopy may be closed to moderately open. The dominant tree species include Quercus macrocarpa and Quercus bicolor. Carya laciniosa is often found in stands of this alliance, along with species such as Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus shumardii, Carya illinoinensis, Populus deltoides, and Ulmus americana. Understory species include Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex spp., Cinna spp., Leersia spp., Toxicodendron radicans, and Uvularia sessilifolia. Stands of this alliance are found on slackwater deposits with moderately well-drained to poorly drained soils. In Kentucky, the dominant tree species are indicators of less acidic soils with a higher base-status.
