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.
