Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Forests dominated by the nominal species on slightly elevated ridges of floodplains primarily in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The canopy is typically dominated by some combination of ~Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciflua$, and ~Nyssa biflora$. Other canopy species which may be present are a mixture of bottomland hardwood species that includes ~Diospyros virginiana, Quercus nigra, Acer rubrum, Quercus michauxii, Quercus laurifolia, Ulmus alata, Carya cordiformis, Ulmus americana, Quercus pagoda, Celtis laevigata, Quercus phellos, Fagus grandifolia, Carya alba$, and more. ~Asimina triloba$ may be prominent in the understory with ~Ilex decidua, Carpinus caroliniana, Crataegus viridis, Crataegus spathulata, Ilex opaca$, and other species. These forests develop following disturbance, natural and artificial, and may persist.
