Description: This alliance covers successional Appalachian and interior woodlands typically dominated by ~Gleditsia triacanthos$ and ~Ulmus$ spp., along with a variety of hardwoods and gymnosperms. These successional woodlands typically have a total canopy cover between 25 and 50%. The canopy species vary greatly, but ~Gleditsia triacanthos$ is always present (in variable amounts), and ~Ulmus alata$ or ~Ulmus rubra$ is usually present. Other species that may occur in this woodland are ~Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Pinus virginiana, Celtis occidentalis, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, Juglans nigra, Fraxinus americana, Quercus alba, Quercus stellata, Quercus velutina, Quercus rubra$, and ~Carya$ spp. Common shrubs are ~Rhus copallinum$ and ~Rubus$ spp. This successional type results from heavy grazing or other severe disturbance.
