Name: Platanus occidentalis - Juglans (major, microcarpa) Temporarily Flooded Woodland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These woodlands occur in central and western Texas on wet flats and high-energy rivershores; they are naturally or artificially disturbed and therefore maintain an open canopy. These stands are typically dominated by Platanus occidentalis. One association may have Juglans major as a codominant, another (e.g., in the Edwards Plateau of Texas) is typically dominated by Platanus occidentalis and few other trees, with Juglans microcarpa as a shrub. Salix nigra, Juglans microcarpa, and/or Juglans major may be present, as well as Acer grandidentatum and Prunus serotina var. eximia. This alliance is best documented by association-level data in the Edwards Plateau and adjacent Chihuahuan Desert of Texas; its presence in other parts of the southeastern U.S. remains speculative.
