Name: Magnolia virginiana - Nyssa (biflora, sylvatica) - Acer rubrum / Morella caroliniensis / Woodwardia areolata Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This broad-leaved, evergreen forest represents one of two described phases of "baygalls" in the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Key diagnostic species of this association include the nominals, <i>Magnolia virginiana, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Morella caroliniensis</i>, and <i>Woodwardia areolata</i>. Endemic to Texas, Louisiana, and southern Arkansas, this "northern" type lacks indicator species of related environments in the southern portions of the region, such as <i>Cyrilla racemiflora</i> and <i>Ilex coriacea</i>. This forest occurs on saturated soils at the headwaters and margins of topographically flat creek bottoms associated with springs and seepage flow. These communities are invariably embedded within sandy slopes and uplands.
