Name: Liquidambar styraciflua Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes a variety of natural and disturbance-related upland forests dominated by Liquidambar styraciflua and other hardwoods, including Quercus spp. and Carya spp. These forests tend to develop after logging, agricultural cropping, or natural disturbance in uplands of the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and other ecoregions. Some associations may have Quercus spp. and Carya spp., especially Quercus alba, Quercus falcata, Quercus nigra, Quercus phellos, Quercus velutina, and Carya alba. In addition, Pinus taeda may be present. Piedmont cove forests (of Alabama and likely other states) codominated by Liquidambar styraciflua and Liriodendron tulipifera are included within this alliance as well (although no association specifically accommodates them). These forests have Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus nigra, and Acer rubrum var. rubrum as associated canopy species, with Vitis rotundifolia, Toxicodendron radicans, and Smilax rotundifolia commonly present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.28509.LIQUIDAMBARSTYR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
