Name: Salix nigra / Cephalanthus occidentalis Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest occurs along the shores of lakes, ponds, and possibly in other topographic situations in the East Gulf Coastal Plain, and possibly in other regions as well (e.g., West Gulf Coastal Plain, Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain). The canopy is strongly dominated by Salix nigra, with Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, and other species likely. Cephalanthus occidentalis is the strong dominant in the shrub layer and may be the only species present in that stratum. This is an early successional forest.
