Name: Platanus occidentalis - Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Quercus imbricaria Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association was described from Cades Cove, a limestone window at 1700 feet elevation in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The description may need substantial revision with additional information. Similar vegetation could be in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, or Missouri. This community occurs on broad flats along streams, within a landscape of pastures and fields. It is impacted by cattle grazing. The forest has a closed canopy dominated by Platanus occidentalis, Acer negundo var. negundo, Acer rubrum var. trilobum, Liriodendron tulipifera, and Quercus imbricaria. In some areas the canopy is dominated by Quercus imbricaria and Prunus serotina, and in other areas it may be dominated by Juglans nigra or Juglans cinerea. The subcanopy stratum is sparse and primarily composed of canopy species. The shrub stratum is sparse. The herb layer includes Boehmeria cylindrica, Impatiens pallida, Verbesina alternifolia, Phacelia purshii, Packera aurea (= Senecio aureus), Carex intumescens, Iris spp., and Carex spp. This alluvial forest can contain seasonally wet inclusions dominated by Juncus effusus, Panicum sp., and Festuca sp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18816.PLATANUSOCCIDEN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
