Name: Liquidambar styraciflua Saturated Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance encompasses forests dominated by Liquidambar styraciflua that are associated with seepage, have a saturated hydrology (and are only rarely flooded), found on muck soils in the Coastal Plain and adjacent ecoregions of the southeastern United States. Stands of this alliance occur in low, flat seepage areas. The soils are mucks, or have some organic development. Characteristic canopy and subcanopy species include Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus laurifolia, Magnolia virginiana, Acer rubrum, Liriodendron tulipifera, Carpinus caroliniana, Ilex opaca, and others. Among species that occur in the herbaceous layer are Saururus cernuus, Carex debilis, Carex intumescens, Carex lonchocarpa, Asclepias perennis, Mitchella repens, Smilax rotundifolia, Toxicodendron radicans, Campsis radicans, Vitis rotundifolia, and Arundinaria gigantea. As far as is known, this is an uncommon alliance of the Atlantic Coastal Plain of South Carolina and Georgia, and perhaps of North Carolina.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24345.LIQUIDAMBARSTYR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
