Name: Pinus taeda - Liquidambar styraciflua - Nyssa biflora Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Forests dominated by the nominal species on slightly elevated ridges of floodplains primarily in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The canopy is typically dominated by some combination of Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Nyssa biflora. Other canopy species which may be present are a mixture of bottomland hardwood species that includes Diospyros virginiana, Quercus nigra, Acer rubrum, Quercus michauxii, Quercus laurifolia, Ulmus alata, Carya cordiformis, Ulmus americana, Quercus pagoda, Celtis laevigata, Quercus phellos, Fagus grandifolia, Carya alba, and more. Asimina triloba may be prominent in the understory with Ilex decidua, Carpinus caroliniana, Crataegus viridis, Crataegus spathulata, Ilex opaca, and other species. These forests develop following disturbance, natural and artificial, and may persist.
