Name: Gleditsia aquatica - Carya aquatica Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This bottomland hardwood association, primarily distributed in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain, is typically dominated by <i>Gleditsia aquatica</i> and <i>Carya aquatica</i>. Some occurrences may contain no other canopy species. Stands of this type vary from those with 90% or more <i>Carya aquatica</i> with a heavy vine component and a subcanopy/shrub layer with <i>Planera aquatica</i> and <i>Forestiera acuminata</i> (especially at the juncture of the Red and Mississippi rivers) to those with some <i>Quercus lyrata</i> and <i>Celtis laevigata</i>. This vegetation type occurs in sites just slightly higher and drier than those that are dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> and <i>Nyssa aquatica</i>, and slightly lower and wetter than those dominated by <i>Quercus lyrata</i>.
