Name: Quercus phellos - (Quercus similis) - Ulmus crassifolia Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association comprises forests of large bottomlands dominated by <i>Quercus phellos</i> and <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i>, in the lower Mississippi River Alluvial Plain Upper and West Gulf Coastal Plain and possibly adjacent ecoregions. These forests occur on flat ridges, topographically higher than adjacent landforms which contain forests dominated by <i>Quercus lyrata</i> and <i>Carya aquatica</i>. They are found on very acidic to mildly alkaline soils, commonly on Portland, Tensas, and Hebert silt loams. Characteristic canopy species include <i>Pinus taeda, Quercus similis, Liquidambar styraciflua, Gleditsia triacanthos</i>, and <i>Carya aquatica</i>, but the wettest sites likely will have only <i>Quercus phellos</i> and <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i>. Understory species include <i>Ilex decidua, Viburnum dentatum</i>, and <i>Crataegus</i> spp., with <i>Sabal minor</i> in drier sites.
