Name: Liriodendron tulipifera - Acer (negundo, rubrum) / Asimina triloba Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes successional wet to mesic forests occurring in bottoms and on low slopes of the Appalachians and Interior Low Plateau. Examples are generally dominated by Acer negundo and Liriodendron tulipifera; however, the canopy composition is diverse and variable. In some examples, Acer rubrum may also contribute to the canopy cover. Asimina triloba is present in the subcanopy or shrub strata where it makes up 5-50% of the total cover. Liriodendron tulipifera may share dominance with Acer rubrum in the canopy of some examples. The exotic grass Microstegium vimineum often dominates the herbaceous layer. These stands are apparently successional following intensive timber removal and also occur on old pastures. This vegetation is probably extensive in the Ridge and Valley, Interior Low Plateaus, and related provinces. Related vegetation is possible in the Chesapeake Bay region.
