Name: Quercus (phellos, palustris, michauxii) - Liquidambar styraciflua / Cinna arundinacea Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This floodplain swamp forest occurs in backswamps and topographic depressions within alluvial floodplains of large streams and small rivers. Along smaller headwater streams, it may occur in low, poorly drained floodplains with braided channels and depressions. Standing water is present for much of the year on loam or clay loam soils. The overstory is dominated by variable mixtures of <i>Quercus phellos, Quercus palustris, Quercus michauxii, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. The proportion of the latter two species typically increases with disturbance. The understory is commonly quite open and contains young <i>Acer rubrum</i>, several climbing vines, <i>Carpinus caroliniana, Ilex opaca var. opaca, Asimina triloba, Viburnum dentatum, Ilex verticillata</i>, and other species. The herb layer is usually well-developed, with a prominent graminoid component. Common herbaceous patch-dominants include <i>Cinna arundinacea, Carex debilis var. debilis, Carex intumescens, Glyceria striata</i>, and <i>Carex tribuloides</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.30962.CEGL006605 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
