Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest occurs in the outer Coastal Plain of Louisiana, on extensive flats, closely associated with the more wetland forest type, Quercus virginiana - Quercus nigra - Liquidambar styraciflua / Ilex opaca var. opaca / Viburnum dentatum Forest (CEGL007476). This forest is near the upland/wetland conceptual boundary; it is constantly moist and sometimes has a high water table. The canopy is dominated by Quercus virginiana, Magnolia grandiflora, and Quercus pagoda, with lesser amounts of Liquidambar styraciflua and Quercus nigra. The open understory consists of Cornus florida, Ilex opaca var. opaca, and Ilex decidua. Woody vines are abundant, especially Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Toxicodendron radicans, and Campsis radicans. The herb layer is well-developed and includes species such as Asplenium platyneuron, Sanicula sp., Elephantopus carolinianus, and Thelypteris kunthii.
