Name: Acer rubrum var. trilobum - Liriodendron tulipifera / Ilex opaca var. opaca / Osmunda cinnamomea Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This streamside seepage vegetation is found in the southeastern Piedmont of North Carolina and has addition occurrences in the lower Piedmont of Georgia (on Pine Mountain). This association is characterized by a mix of Piedmont and Coastal Plain elements. It occurs along small, low-gradient streams. Sites are intermittently flooded and nearly permanently saturated by water from the streambed and seepages as well as from upland runoff. Soils often have some silt content and usually have a clay layer at approximately one foot that inhibits infiltration. Characteristic canopy species include the nominals as well as <i>Liquidambar </i><i>styraciflua, Nyssa biflora, Magnolia virginiana, Pinus taeda</i>, and <i>Quercus alba</i>. The understory contains <i>Ilex opaca var. opaca, Ilex verticillata, Ilex coriacea, Vaccinium fuscatum, Euonymus americanus, Itea virginica, Viburnum nudum var. nudum, Alnus serrulata, Amelanchier arborea, Cyrilla racemiflora</i>, and <i>Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia)</i>. The herbaceous layer is dominated by <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Woodwardia areolata, Scutellaria integrifolia, Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides, Smilax laurifolia</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>, with many other species often present.
