Name: A.57
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes temporarily and infrequently flooded forests dominated by ~Quercus virginiana$ occurring on older and more recent natural levee ridges and terraces within antecedent and current floodplain systems of large Coastal Plain rivers of both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Hydrology is variable, including temporarily flooded areas within current floodplains and very infrequently flooded areas within antecedent floodplains. Species composition is also variable depending on hydrology and geographic location. A poorly described type with a broad geographic range includes ~Pinus taeda$ as a codominant with ~Quercus virginiana$. This alliance may contain disparate elements that have been grouped together primarily on landscape position and the predominance of ~Quercus virginiana$ in the overstory. Additional evaluation and inventory of these associations are needed.
