Name: Quercus lyrata - Quercus (palustris, phellos) - Liquidambar styraciflua - (Populus heterophylla) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This upland swamp association is found in the Highland Rim (Pennyroyal Karst Plain) of Tennessee and Kentucky. In addition to the nominal species, the canopy also contains <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Acer rubrum, Populus deltoides, Diospyros virginiana</i>, and <i>Nyssa biflora</i>. <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis, Itea virginica, Campsis radicans, Vitis rotundifolia, Bidens</i> spp., and <i>Saururus cernuus</i> are found in the understory. <i>Populus heterophylla</i> may be more prevalent in the understory than in the canopy. In some examples, <i>Quercus lyrata</i> may dominate a wetter portion of a pond, with <i>Quercus palustris</i> and/or <i>Quercus phellos</i> present on the drier margins.
