Name: Fagus grandifolia - Quercus alba - (Quercus michauxii) - Acer rubrum Flatwoods Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This lowland forest community is found in the United States in southeastern Indiana and southwestern Ohio. Stands occur on level, loess-covered glacial drift of Illinoisan age. Soils are poorly drained silt loams, with an impermeable layer beneath the topsoil that can slow drainage during wet periods, but impede accessibility of deeper water sources during droughty periods. The community has a moderately dense to dense canopy of deciduous trees. Fagus grandifolia is consistently common. Other common trees include Acer rubrum, Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus alba, Quercus bicolor, Quercus palustris, and Quercus michauxii. Fraxinus americana and Quercus shumardii may be present. Asimina triloba, Carpinus caroliniana, Lindera benzoin, Toxicodendron radicans, and Sambucus canadensis are common shrubs or small trees. Vitis labrusca is a common, and perhaps characteristic, vine. Abundant understory species include the ferns Botrychium oneidense and Onoclea sensibilis and the herbs Chimaphila maculata, Cinna arundinacea, Impatiens capensis (= Impatiens biflora), Panax trifolius, Podophyllum peltatum, and Rubus hispidus.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21302.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
