Name: Quercus lyrata - Carya aquatica - (Quercus texana) / Forestiera acuminata Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This overcup oak - hardwood swamp forest is found in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain of southeastern Missouri (and presumably Illinois) south to Louisiana and Mississippi, and west into the West Gulf Coastal Plain and adjacent ecoregions of Texas. It is distinguished from other <i>Quercus lyrata</i> forests of the Gulf region by the presence of <i>Quercus texana</i>. Stands that lack <i>Quercus texana</i> and have either significant amounts of <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> or <i>Carya aquatica</i> are covered by other types [see Similar Associations]. Stands occur on level to gently sloping bottomlands along streams and rivers or in sinkhole basins. A high water table is present. The deep soils (>100 cm) are somewhat poorly drained and are seasonally wet. The parent material is alluvium. The trees are tall (30-45 m), and the canopy is well-developed (60-100% cover). Typical dominants include <i>Quercus lyrata, Carya aquatica</i>, and <i>Quercus texana</i> (within its range). The dense shrub/sapling layer reaches heights of 8 m or more. <i>Forestiera acuminata</i> is among the shrubs found in stands of this type. Lianas are common. The moderately dense (20-60% cover) ground layer is composed of mixed herbaceous species.  Accession Code: VB.CC.35167.CEGL002423 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
