Name: Ulmus crassifolia - Carya illinoinensis - Celtis laevigata / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Carex cherokeensis Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community occurs on older, low-gradient river floodplains primarily in the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes Ecoregion of Texas and possibly Louisiana; it may also occur in the Crosstimbers and Southern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregion. The canopy is dominated by mixtures of <i>Ulmus crassifolia, Carya illinoinensis, Celtis laevigata, Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus shumardii</i>, and, less typically or on slight rises, <i>Quercus virginiana</i>. The vegetation of these rises, often old natural levees, is typically classed as a separate association, ~<i>Quercus virginiana / Ilex vomitoria - Sabal minor / Carex cherokeensis - Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii</i> Forest (CEGL007830)$$. Slightly wetter and lower areas may be characterized by a predominance of <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>. Typical subcanopy trees include the canopy species, with the addition of <i>Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii</i> and <i>Crataegus</i> spp. A scattered shrub stratum is composed of <i>Sabal minor</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos orbiculatus</i>. Vines are common and include <i>Campsis radicans, Cocculus carolinus, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and <i>Passiflora lutea</i>. Herb stratum dominants include <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i> and <i>Carex cherokeensis</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31296-{D1F50CC0-A5F9-4D93-91F4-A3BF58A1047E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
