Name: (Fagus grandifolia) - Quercus pagoda - Magnolia grandiflora / Hydrangea quercifolia / Cystopteris protrusa - Thelypteris kunthii Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association is restricted to steep ridge-and-ravine topography on deep loess soil deposits associated with the Mississippi River in Louisiana and adjacent Mississippi. The woody flora is extremely diverse and is characteristic of this association. Quercus pagoda is possibly the most common and diagnostic overstory tree in existing examples (possibly as a result of removal of other hardwood species). A variety of other tree species may be encountered, such as Fagus grandifolia, Magnolia grandiflora, Quercus shumardii, Quercus nigra, Quercus michauxii, Fraxinus americana, Platanus occidentalis, Acer negundo, Ulmus americana, Ulmus rubra, and Liriodendron tulipifera. When compared to other mesic forests of the region, other diagnostic features of this type are the prevalence of Arundinaria gigantea (often a dominant in the shrub layer), and the abundance of Cystopteris protrusa and Thelypteris kunthii. A variety of other herbaceous species may be present, suggesting both mesic and rich conditions for the region. This vegetation is known from the Tunica Hills in Louisiana.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26894.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
