Name: Taxodium distichum - Platanus occidentalis Edwards Plateau Floodplain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This open forest is dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> with <i>Platanus occidentalis</i> usually occurring as the second most important species. Large individuals of <i>Taxodium distichum</i> are typical. There is no significant midstory, but <i>Salix nigra, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Amorpha fruticosa</i>, and <i>Sabal minor</i> may occur as tall shrubs or small trees. The ground layer is highly disturbed by flooding and may have areas of standing water. This community occurs as narrow (5-25 m) strips along floodplains of perennial streams that run through steep-sided canyons. Deep, alluvial soils are usually saturated and periodically inundated during flood events. Forests and woodlands dominated by <i>Quercus buckleyi, Quercus laceyi</i>, and <i>Juniperus ashei</i> occur on adjacent canyon slopes.
