Name: Fagus grandifolia - Liriodendron tulipifera / Euonymus americana / Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association includes mesic hardwood forests dominated by Fagus grandifolia and Liriodendron tulipifera generally lacking an oak component. This forest occurs on slopes in the 'lower Piedmont' of Alabama, and related habitats of adjacent and ecologically related provinces (Ridge and Valley, Cumberland Plateau, Interior Low Plateau, and Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain). Other important canopy/subcanopy species include Acer rubrum, Quercus rubra, Carpinus caroliniana, Magnolia virginiana, Nyssa sylvatica, Diospyros virginiana, Oxydendrum arboreum, and Cornus florida. Other shrubs and woody vines include Decumaria barbara, Rhododendron canescens, Toxicodendron radicans, Vitis rotundifolia, Smilax glauca, and the exotic Lonicera japonica. Important herbs include Polystichum acrostichoides, Woodwardia areolata, Osmunda cinnamomea, Mitchella repens, and Hexastylis arifolia. This type is described from narrow, moderately well-drained floodplains and sheltered coves which have had little or no severe recent disturbance.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27534.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
