Name: Taxodium distichum - Platanus occidentalis Ouachita Foothills Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These open forests dominated by Taxodium distichum and Platanus occidentalis occur along rocky banks of the lower Mountain Fork of the Red River in the Ouachita Mountain foothills. These forests are also known from the Saline and Maumelle rivers, and perhaps in other small rivers that flow into the Arkansas River. Other trees include Betula nigra, Liquidambar styraciflua, and less commonly Carya aquatica, Ulmus spp., Celtis spp., and Fraxinus pennsylvanica. These forests occur in a complex with shrublands dominated by Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Ilex vomitoria, Cornus obliqua, and Salix caroliniana and open grasslands with Calamovilfa arcuata, Panicum virgatum, and Schizachyrium scoparium. More information is needed to better name this association. Alliance placement must also be examined.
