Name: Platanus occidentalis - Salix nigra Floodplain Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is a deciduous strip woodland occurring on moist to wet often gravelly soils in periodically scoured creekbeds and riverbeds across most of the Edwards Plateau and adjacent areas in Texas. <i>Platanus occidentalis</i> and <i>Salix nigra</i> along with <i>Populus deltoides</i> are usually present, often as scattered small trees representing growth since the most recent catastrophic flood. A poorly developed shrub stratum may include <i>Baccharis neglecta, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Amorpha fruticosa</i>, and <i>Juglans microcarpa</i>. The herbaceous stratum varies with moisture, disturbance, and other factors.
