Name: Quercus michauxii - Quercus nigra - Pinus taeda / Carpinus caroliniana Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This is an association that was once prevalent along intermediate streams throughout much of the West Gulf Coastal Plain of west-central Louisiana within the range of Magnolia grandiflora. Typical canopy species include Quercus michauxii, Quercus nigra, Pinus taeda, Magnolia grandiflora, Quercus pagoda, Magnolia virginiana, Acer rubrum, and Quercus laurifolia. Taxodium distichum and Nyssa aquatica are present in depressional inclusions in the floodplain. The midstory is dominated by Carpinus caroliniana. Toxicodendron radicans is a common woody vine. Herb layer species include numerous Carex spp., Cardamine bulbosa, Rudbeckia laciniata var. laciniata, Phanopyrum gymnocarpon (= Panicum gymnocarpon), and Solidago patula var. strictula (= Solidago salicina). This type occurs in the floodplains of small to intermediate streams on acidic silty to sandy substrates, in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of central Louisiana. Characteristic examples occur on Loving Creek (Rapides Parish, Louisiana).
