Name: Quercus phellos - (Quercus lyrata) / Carex joorii - Saccharum baldwinii Floodplain Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association occurs on lower portions of islands and levees that gently slope downward into wetter swamps of Caddo Lake, Texas, and likely includes related vegetation of adjacent Louisiana and Arkansas. The description is based on the work of Van Kley and Hine (1998). These areas are seasonally flooded on poorly drained soils. Stands are typically dominated by Quercus phellos with lesser amounts of Quercus lyrata, Nyssa sylvatica, and Liriodendron tulipifera. Important shrubs include Crataegus opaca, Diospyros virginiana, Styrax americanus, Ilex decidua, and Forestiera acuminata. Diagnostic understory species are Carex joorii and Saccharum baldwinii. The understory vegetation may also include Hibiscus moscheutos, Brunnichia ovata, Boehmeria cylindrica, Acalypha virginica, Hypericum hypericoides (= Ascyrum hypericoides), Berchemia scandens, Dichanthelium dichotomum, Trachelospermum difforme, and Toxicodendron radicans. Seedlings of Diospyros virginiana, Styrax americanus, Quercus lyrata, and Liquidambar styraciflua may be abundant.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22638.QUERCUSPHELLOSQ Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
