Name: Ulmus crassifolia - Carya illinoinensis - Celtis laevigata / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Carex cherokeensis Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community occurs on older, low-gradient river floodplains primarily in the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes Ecoregion of Texas and possibly Louisiana; it may also occur in the Crosstimbers and Southern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregion. The canopy is dominated by mixtures of Ulmus crassifolia, Carya illinoinensis, Celtis laevigata, Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus shumardii, and, less typically or on slight rises, Quercus virginiana. The vegetation of these rises, often old natural levees, is typically classed as a separate association, Quercus virginiana / Ilex vomitoria - Sabal minor / Carex cherokeensis - Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii Forest (CEGL007830). Slightly wetter and lower areas may be characterized by a predominance of Fraxinus pennsylvanica. Typical subcanopy trees include the canopy species, with the addition of Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii and Crataegus spp. A scattered shrub stratum is composed of Sabal minor and Symphoricarpos orbiculatus. Vines are common and include Campsis radicans, Cocculus carolinus, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, and Passiflora lutea. Herb stratum dominants include Chasmanthium sessiliflorum and Carex cherokeensis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26652.ULMUSCRASSIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
