Name: Fagus grandifolia - Liquidambar styraciflua - Quercus (michauxii, nigra) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This levee or terrace forest of the Atlantic Coastal Plain is dominated by Fagus grandifolia, with Liquidambar styraciflua and some combination of the nominal Quercus spp. (Quercus michauxii, Quercus nigra) often codominating. Although they may be present, Liriodendron tulipifera and Betula nigra are usually not dominants in this community. Ilex opaca var. opaca is a prominent component of the subcanopy. Shrubs present include Leucothoe axillaris, Symplocos tinctoria, and Vaccinium elliottii. Vines are prominent in examples of this association; these include Berchemia scandens, Gelsemium sempervirens, Smilax laurifolia, Toxicodendron radicans, and Vitis rotundifolia. Scattered patches of Arundinaria gigantea may occur in examples of this community. Herbaceous species common in this association include Carex spp. and Mitchella repens.
