Name: Quercus fusiformis - Celtis laevigata Woodland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance contains mixed woodlands that occupy river- or stream-associated sites, primarily within the Edwards Plateau, South Texas Plains, and eastern Trans-Pecos. Canopy closure is variable, from open to closed. These forests often have the aspect of gallery forests, occurring as narrow bands along rivers or streams in regions with unforested adjacent slopes. Quercus fusiformis is usually dominant, but other important species may include Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Carya illinoinensis, Fraxinus texensis, Fraxinus berlandieriana, Ulmus crassifolia, Quercus macrocarpa, Juniperus ashei, and Diospyros texana. More mesic floodplains are dominated by Carya illinoinensis - Celtis laevigata woodlands or Celtis laevigata - Ulmus crassifolia woodlands. Adjacent slopes are dominated by Juniperus ashei or Acacia spp.
