Name: Acer rubrum var. trilobum - Nyssa sylvatica / Rhexia mariana var. interior Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This acidic seepage forest community occurs on nearly level sandstone plateaus of Mount Magazine, Arkansas, where intermittent streams meander through oak forests. The canopy is open to closed and is characterized by Acer rubrum var. trilobum and Nyssa sylvatica, although other tree species characteristic of surrounding forests (such as Quercus alba and Carya alba) may also occur. Shrubs are few, but Smilax rotundifolia may form thickets. Herbs include Rhexia mariana var. interior, Lobelia puberula, Juncus effusus, Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, Agrostis hyemalis, Dichanthelium dichotomum var. dichotomum, Scutellaria elliptica, Eupatorium perfoliatum, and Deschampsia flexuosa. Sphagnum lescurii, Sphagnum sp. (section Sphagnum), and Polytrichum commune are common. This community has much more depauperate floristic composition compared to Acer rubrum var. trilobum - Liquidambar styraciflua - Magnolia tripetala / Osmunda regalis - (Cypripedium kentuckiense) Forest (CEGL007444).
