Name: Acer (nigrum, saccharum) - Carya cordiformis Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Deep soil mesophytic forests of the Inner Bluegrass of Kentucky. Also includes forests on terraces and slopes above the terraces, on deep loess soils along the Ohio River. According to Julian Campbell, these forests are distinct from other mesophytic types because Fagus grandifolia and Liriodendron tulipifera are lacking. This vegetation was best developed in the rolling uplands of the Karst Plains of the Inner Bluegrass, where the predominant forest type was oak - ash or oak - hickory. It represents the forest of slightly more mesic slopes and swales in this landscape. As these were some of the best agricultural soils, most examples have been converted. It represents the calcareous part of Kentucky's 'Deep Soil Mesophytic Forest.'  Accession Code: VB.CC.22130.ACERNIGRUMSACCH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
