Description: This floodplain forest of the Upper East and West Gulf coastal plains has a canopy dominated by Platanus occidentalis and Liquidambar styraciflua. Examples may be found on stabilized natural levees, point bars and first bottoms of large streams and rivers. Depending upon location and previous disturbance history (including hydrologic regime), a number of other tree species may also be present in lesser amounts. These may include Ulmus americana, Carya illinoinensis, Nyssa biflora, Celtis laevigata, Populus deltoides, Quercus nigra, Salix nigra, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Betula nigra, Acer negundo, and Carya aquatica. Shrubs are sparse to moderately dense in this community with covers ranging from 10-40%.
