Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This pin oak - swamp white oak forest community type is found in the central United States. Stands occur on wet, poorly drained depressions and contain a closed to partially open canopy dominated by <i>Quercus palustris</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. Oaks should comprise at least 25% of the dominance in a stand. Other typical canopy associates may dominate, including <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica</i>, and <i>Quercus bicolor</i>. Other wetland hardwood species can occur, including <i>Acer saccharinum, Betula nigra, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>. Shrub and vine species are variable and may include <i>Cornus</i> spp., <i>Lindera benzoin, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and <i>Sambucus canadensis</i>. Herbaceous species also vary widely. Herbaceous species noted from a site in the Western Allegheny Plateau include <i>Cinna arundinacea</i> (dominant), with other associates including <i>Carex blanda, Carex laxiculmis, Carex rosea, Elymus riparius, Elymus virginicus, Cardamine bulbosa, Cardamine pensylvanica, Claytonia virginica, Oxalis violacea</i>, and <i>Podophyllum peltatum</i>.
