Name: Carya illinoinensis - (Celtis laevigata) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These forests are dominated by Carya illinoinensis and occur on nearly level floodplains and terraces along large rivers and major streams in the central and south-central United States, ranging from Kansas and Tennessee, south to Texas and Mississippi. Celtis laevigata is usually present as a codominant, and other characteristic species may include Celtis laevigata var. reticulata (= Celtis reticulata), Ulmus crassifolia, Ulmus americana, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus fusiformis, Juglans nigra, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus buckleyi, Platanus occidentalis, and Acer negundo. There is increasing mortality in the two nominal species in the lower Mississippi River floodplain due to altered flooding regimes.
