Name: Acer negundo - (Platanus occidentalis, Populus deltoides) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Forests on narrow floodplains, along streams and medium-sized rivers in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and possibly Arkansas, where Acer negundo dominates, possibly with emergent Platanus occidentalis and/or Populus deltoides. This association explicitly covers Acer negundo-dominated vegetation of streams, as opposed to Acer negundo Forest (CEGL005033), a type of larger rivers which has a greater documented distribution. This association (CEGL004690) covers smaller areas and may have a greater transition zone to other communities and consequently higher diversity. More information is needed on species composition and dynamics of this association in order to better distinguish it from CEGL005033. Composition is variable. In central Kentucky, a simple strip of Acer negundo and Platanus occidentalis, plus Ulmus americana, etc., is common along all medium-sized streams, with almost no Acer saccharinum or Populus deltoides.
