Name: Quercus (laurifolia, phellos) Seasonally Flooded Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance occurs in seasonally flooded portions of active floodplains that periodically receive overbank flooding and hold water into the growing season. The canopy usually contains Quercus laurifolia or Quercus phellos. Other species characteristic of forests in this alliance include Taxodium distichum, Nyssa biflora, Quercus nigra, Fraxinus caroliniana, Itea virginica, Sabal minor, Justicia ovata, Proserpinaca pectinata, and Saururus cernuus. The subcanopy layer is often well-developed and Carpinus caroliniana is common, but the shrub and herbaceous layers usually are sparse. These forests often grade into Taxodium - Nyssa swamps. They are distributed in the Atlantic Coastal Plain from North Carolina and possibly Virginia to Georgia, and in the Gulf Coast to Louisiana and possibly Texas. An association described from Ft. Benning and the Oconee National Forest is dominated by Quercus phellos and Liquidambar styraciflua.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19497.QUERCUSLAURIFOL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
