Name: Quercus palustris - (Quercus bicolor) / Carex crinita / Sphagnum spp. Wet Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This pin oak - swamp white oak sinkhole flatwoods is found in the United States in Missouri and Arkansas. Stands occur in broad sinkhole basins. Soils have a fragipan which impedes drainage and roots. The soils of this community receive groundwater from water fluctuations in the ponds. This water, combined with rainwater, keeps the soils saturated during wet periods and moist during dry periods. The soils have a pH below 5.5. Hydrophytic plants dominate this community. The forest is a mixed deciduous hardwoods community. The dominant trees are 20-30 m tall, and the canopy is closed. <i>Quercus palustris, Quercus bicolor</i>, and <i>Diospyros virginiana</i> are present. The understory is poorly developed or absent. When present, it ranges from 5-7 m in height. Shrubs may occur with small trees to make up the understory. Species include <i>Alnus serrulata</i> and <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>. The ground cover consists of ferns, mixed sedges, and moss tussocks. Ferns include <i>Osmunda regalis</i> and <i>Onoclea sensibilis</i>, herbs include <i>Viola lanceolata</i>, and mosses include <i>Climacium americanum</i> and <i>Sphagnum</i> spp.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31314-{4C6BE034-C242-4396-BC2B-6EECAEEC3B2E} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
