Name: Quercus virginiana - Quercus nigra Saturated Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Wetland forests of the Outer Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas, occurring on extensive flats in the Outer Coastal Plain of Louisiana, or on floodplains along rivers and creeks in the Upper Coastal Prairie of Texas. There is also an association placed here from low moist to wet flats in the Outer Coastal Plain of South Carolina (and possibly Georgia). In Louisiana, the vegetation of this alliance is found in the lower, wetter portions of flats, where water pools following rains. In addition to Quercus virginiana and Quercus nigra, other canopy dominants may include Carya illinoinensis, Liquidambar styraciflua, Magnolia grandiflora, Celtis laevigata, Ulmus americana, Ulmus crassifolia, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus phellos, and Quercus pagoda. The open understory consists of Ilex opaca var. opaca and Morus rubra. The shrub stratum is locally dense, and may be dominated by Viburnum dentatum or Sabal minor. Other shrubs include Ilex vomitoria, Ilex decidua, Callicarpa americana, Sambucus canadensis, and Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. cerifera). Woody vines are common and include Ampelopsis arborea, Berchemia scandens, Toxicodendron radicans, Campsis radicans, and Bignonia capreolata. Herbs are few but may include Chasmanthium laxum, Chasmanthium sessiliflorum, and Juncus coriaceus. The epiphytes Tillandsia usneoides and Pleopeltis polypodioides ssp. michauxiana are also often present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20959.QUERCUSVIRGINIA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
