Name: Quercus phellos - (Quercus similis) - Ulmus crassifolia Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Forests of large bottomlands dominated by Quercus phellos and Ulmus crassifolia. These forests occur on flat ridges, topographically higher than adjacent landforms which contain forests dominated by Quercus lyrata and Carya aquatica. Characteristic canopy species include Pinus taeda, Quercus similis, Liquidambar styraciflua, Gleditsia triacanthos, and Carya aquatica, but the wettest sites likely will have only Quercus phellos and Ulmus crassifolia. Understory species include Ilex decidua, Viburnum dentatum, and Crataegus spp., with Sabal minor in drier sites. These forests occur on very acid to mildly alkaline soils, commonly on Portland, Tensas, and Hebert silt loams.
