Name: Quercus macrocarpa - Carya illinoinensis / Cornus drummondii - Frangula caroliniana Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest is found on well-developed alluvial floodplains and terraces along major streams and rivers in the Lampasas Cutplain in central Texas. Soils are deep, variable in texture and poorly drained to well-drained. Typically, <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i> and <i>Carya illinoinensis</i> codominate the canopy of this forest. Other characteristic canopy trees may include a variable mixture of <i>Ulmus crassifolia, Ulmus americana, Celtis laevigata</i><i> var. laevigata, Celtis laevigata var. texana</i><i>, Juniperus virginiana, Morus rubra</i>, and <i>Juglans nigra</i>. The midstory includes many canopy species and some small trees, including <i>Cornus drummondii, Frangula caroliniana, Ilex decidua</i>, and <i>Sideroxylon lanuginosum</i>. The understory, which can be dense in patches, may include many of the above plus <i>Forestiera pubescens, Viburnum rufidulum</i>, and <i>Ptelea trifoliata</i>. Components of the sparse to patchy ground cover include <i>Geum canadense, Sanicula canadensis, Ruellia drummondiana, Ruellia humilis, Chasmanthium latifolium, Galium circaezans, Desmodium tweedyi, Verbesina virginica, Vernonia baldwinii, Desmodium paniculatum</i>, and <i>Cocculus carolinus</i>. Vines, including <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Smilax rotundifolia, Smilax bona-nox</i>, and <i>Vitis cinerea</i>, are a common component of this association and are typically present in all strata.
