Description:
This forest is common along small floodplains in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi, Alabama, and possibly adjacent states. Quercus phellos or Quercus nigra may dominate this temporarily flooded forest; some stands may contain considerable Liquidambar styraciflua, and Quercus alba may be present. Some other associated species include Pinus glabra, Pinus taeda, Quercus pagoda, Quercus alba, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus similis, Ulmus alata, Carya alba, Carya glabra, Carya ovata, Nyssa biflora, and others. Occurrences often have many species in the canopy, and variability of species composition from occurrence to occurrence may be relatively large. The subcanopy/shrub stratum is well-developed and contains canopy species, as well as Crataegus viridis, Chionanthus virginicus, Acer rubrum, Vaccinium elliottii, Ilex decidua, Ilex vomitoria, Vaccinium stamineum, Cornus florida, Sabal minor, Sambucus canadensis, Crataegus marshallii, Arundinaria gigantea, and others. Some woody vines present. The herbaceous layer also may contain many species with no clear dominants.
