Name: Fagus grandifolia - Magnolia grandiflora - Quercus michauxii - Quercus nigra / Rhododendron canescens Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes beech-magnolia forests of small perennial stream bottoms within the range of <i>Pinus palustris</i>; it is described from the central and eastern Florida parishes of Louisiana. This forest is found on knolls and broad flats over acidic silt/sand loams in floodplains of small streams, where it is subject to regular but brief flooding events (typically 1-5 floods each year, lasting from 1-3 days each). These floods usually result from late-winter and early-spring rains. Canopies are diverse, with a mixture of evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved trees. Some pines (sep. <i>Pinus taeda</i>) may be present. The shrub layer is also diverse.
