Name: Platanus occidentalis - Salix nigra Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is a deciduous strip forest occurring on moist to wet often gravelly soils in periodically scoured creek and river beds across most of the Edwards Plateau and adjacent areas in Texas. Platanus occidentalis and Salix nigra along with Populus deltoides are usually present, often as scattered small trees representing growth since the most recent catastrophic flood. A poorly developed shrub stratum may include Baccharis neglecta, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Amorpha fruticosa, and Juglans microcarpa. The herbaceous stratum varies with moisture, disturbance, and other factors.
