Name: Gleditsia triacanthos - Ulmus (alata, rubra) Ruderal Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association covers successional Appalachian and interior woodlands typically dominated by <i>Gleditsia triacanthos</i> and <i>Ulmus</i> spp., along with a variety of hardwoods and conifers. These successional woodlands typically have a total canopy cover between 25 and 50%. The canopy species vary greatly, but <i>Gleditsia triacanthos</i> is present in variable amounts in every occurrence, and one of the <i>Ulmus</i> species is usually present. Other species that may occur in this woodland are <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Pinus virginiana, Celtis occidentalis, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, Juglans nigra, Fraxinus americana, Quercus alba, Quercus stellata, Quercus velutina, Quercus rubra</i>, and <i>Carya</i> spp. Common shrubs are <i>Rhus copallinum</i> and <i>Rubus</i> spp. This successional type results from heavy grazing or other severe disturbance. It occurs on sites in mesic riparian corridors and floodplains that were farmed long ago by Native Americans.
