Name: Quercus phellos - Quercus nigra - Quercus alba / Chasmanthium (laxum, sessiliflorum) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest is common along small floodplains in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi, Alabama, and possibly adjacent states. <i>Quercus phellos</i> or <i>Quercus nigra</i> may dominate this temporarily flooded forest; some stands may contain considerable <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Quercus alba</i> may be present. Some other associated species include <i>Pinus glabra, Pinus taeda, Quercus pagoda, Quercus alba, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus similis, Ulmus alata, Carya alba, Carya glabra, Carya ovata, Nyssa biflora</i>, and others. Occurrences often have many species in the canopy, and variability of species composition from occurrence to occurrence may be relatively large. The subcanopy/shrub stratum is well-developed and contains canopy species, as well as <i>Crataegus viridis, Chionanthus virginicus, Acer rubrum, Vaccinium elliottii, Ilex decidua, Ilex vomitoria, Vaccinium stamineum, Cornus florida, Sabal minor, Sambucus canadensis, Crataegus marshallii, Arundinaria gigantea</i>, and others. Some woody vines present. The herbaceous layer also may contain many species with no clear dominants.
