Name: Celtis (laevigata, occidentalis) - Ulmus spp. - (Aesculus glabra) Ruderal Forest
Reference: Nordman, C. 2004a. Vascular plan...
Description: This association includes second-growth forests on deep soils of upland woodlots and fencerows of calcium-rich sedimentary areas of the unglaciated Interior Low Plateau region of Kentucky, Tennessee, and parts of northern Alabama and Mississippi. Areas in which this vegetation is likely to occur include the Inner Nashville Basin of Tennessee, and the Bluegrass Basin, Knobs and Mitchell Plain of Kentucky. The canopy is dominated by <i>Celtis laevigata</i> and/or <i>Celtis occidentalis</i> with <i>Fraxinus americana, Ulmus americana, Ulmus rubra</i>, and <i>Ulmus serotina</i>. Some examples contain <i>Juglans nigra</i> and <i>Aesculus glabra</i>. The understory may include <i>Prunus serotina var. serotina, Robinia pseudoacacia, Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana</i> (with &lt;25% cover), <i>Celtis laevigata, Ulmus alata, Fraxinus americana</i>, and <i>Quercus imbricaria</i>. In addition, <i>Maclura pomifera</i> may have cover in the canopy or understory.
