Name: Acer negundo - (Platanus occidentalis, Populus deltoides) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents forests on narrow floodplains, along streams and medium-sized rivers and Tennessee Valley Authority impoundments in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas, where <i>Acer negundo</i> dominates, possibly with emergent <i>Platanus occidentalis</i> and/or <i>Populus deltoides</i>. It explicitly covers <i>Acer negundo</i>-dominated vegetation of streams, as opposed to <i>~Acer negundo</i> Ruderal Floodplain Forest (CEGL005033)$$, a type of larger rivers which has a greater documented distribution. This association (CEGL004690) covers smaller areas and may have a greater transition zone to other communities and consequently higher diversity. More information is needed on species composition and dynamics of this association in order to better distinguish it from CEGL005033. Composition is variable. In central Kentucky, a simple strip of <i>Acer negundo</i> and <i>Platanus occidentalis</i>, plus <i>Ulmus americana</i>, etc., is common along all medium-sized streams, with almost no <i>Acer saccharinum</i> or <i>Populus deltoides</i>.
