Name: A.344
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: These are long hydroperiod, seasonally flooded forests dominated or codominated by ~Fraxinus caroliniana$, which is the dominant tree in stands. Some examples may be shorter than 5 m, especially when young or successional following fire or other disturbance, but all classed here for now. Various tropical species may also be present in stands of this alliance in southern Florida. This alliance is associated with natural or anthropogenic disturbance. Further data are needed to better characterize this alliance. In Louisiana, this vegetation occurs as a small-scale natural type, in small depressional areas in second bottoms (L. Smith pers. comm.). In Texas this type also occurs in small-scale sloughs, reminiscent of oxbows, within extensive mounded, ancient terrace complexes (R. Evans pers. obs.).
