Name: A.282
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: These forests are dominated by ~Carya illinoinensis$ and occur on nearly level floodplains and terraces along streams and large rivers in the central and south-central United States, ranging from Kansas and Tennessee, south to Texas and Mississippi. ~Celtis laevigata$ is usually present as a codominant, and other characteristic species may include ~Celtis laevigata var. reticulata (= Celtis reticulata), Ulmus crassifolia, Ulmus americana, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus fusiformis, Juglans nigra, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus buckleyi, Platanus occidentalis$, and ~Acer negundo$. There is increasing mortality in the two nominal species in the lower Mississippi River floodplain due to altered flooding regimes.
