Name: Liriodendron tulipifera - Acer rubrum - Liquidambar styraciflua / Medeola virginiana Forest
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This bottomland forest community occurs on the Inner Coastal Plain of the Chesapeake Bay region. It occurs along small streams and on adjacent low slopes on somewhat poorly drained sandy loams or sandy clay loams. The tree canopy is dominated by Liriodendron tulipifera and Acer rubrum, with Liquidambar styraciflua at lower abundance. Other canopy associates may include Nyssa sylvatica, Fagus grandifolia and Quercus rubra. The understory is made up of the same species as the canopy dominants, with Ilex opaca. The shrub layer is dominated by Asimina triloba, Lindera benzoin, and Ilex opaca, with less frequent associates including Clethra alnifolia, Vaccinium corymbosum, Magnolia virginiana, and Viburnum spp. The herbaceous layer is characterized by Thelypteris noveboracensis, Mitchella repens, Euonymus americana, and Medeola virginiana.
