Name: Ulmus crassifolia - Celtis laevigata / Ilex decidua / Elymus virginicus Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs on alluvial terraces and floodplains along rivers and streams in central and southern Texas. Composition is quite variable, but the overstory is typically dominated by Ulmus crassifolia and Celtis laevigata. Other characteristic overstory species may include Ulmus americana, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Tilia americana var. caroliniana (= Tilia caroliniana), and Carya illinoinensis. Midstory trees that may reach into the overstory include Acer negundo, Juglans major, Juglans microcarpa, Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii, Sideroxylon lanuginosa, and Sophora affinis. Typical components of the generally open understory include Ilex decidua, Forestiera pubescens, Cornus drummondii, Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, and occasionally Lindera benzoin and Juniperus ashei. The herbaceous layer is dense in patches and may include Elymus virginicus, Chasmanthium latifolium, Setaria scheelei, Carex amphibola, and Verbesina virginica.
