Name: Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Quercus laurifolia - Quercus lyrata - Carya aquatica Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Forest of low natural levees along brownwater rivers of the Coastal Plain. The canopy of these forests is dominated by mixtures of <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus lyrata</i>, and <i>Carya aquatica</i>, with significant amounts of <i>Nyssa aquatica</i> and <i>Taxodium distichum</i>. Other canopy species may include <i>Acer rubrum, Celtis laevigata, Platanus occidentalis, Betula nigra, Acer negundo, Acer saccharinum, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. This type occurs on low levees in the lower reaches of rivers, where more species tolerant of more inundation, such as <i>Quercus lyrata</i> and <i>Carya aquatica</i>, are major components, in combination with characteristic levee species listed above.
