Name: Quercus texana - Celtis laevigata - Ulmus (americana, crassifolia) - (Gleditsia triacanthos) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These are forests of large bottomlands, found in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain, the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain, the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain, and possibly the East Gulf Coastal Plain, in Mississippi, Arkansas, and possibly other adjacent states. The canopy contains a variable mixture of <i>Quercus texana, Celtis laevigata, Ulmus americana</i>, and <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i>. Some stands may contain <i>Gleditsia triacanthos</i> in the canopy or subcanopy. Other associated species may include <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. These forests are slightly higher in elevation than those dominated by <i>Quercus lyrata</i> and <i>Quercus texana</i>. More information is needed on the composition and distribution of this type.
