Name: Quercus lyrata - Quercus (palustris, phellos) - Liquidambar styraciflua - (Populus heterophylla) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This upland swamp association is found in the Highland Rim (Pennyroyal Karst Plain) of Tennessee and Kentucky. In addition to the nominal species, the canopy also contains Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Acer rubrum, Populus deltoides, Diospyros virginiana, and Nyssa biflora. Cephalanthus occidentalis, Itea virginica, Campsis radicans, Vitis rotundifolia, Bidens spp., and Saururus cernuus are found in the understory. Populus heterophylla may be more prevalent in the understory than in the canopy. In some examples, Quercus lyrata may dominate a wetter portion of a pond, with Quercus palustris and/or Quercus phellos present on the drier margins.
