Name: Liquidambar styraciflua - Carya illinoinensis - Quercus nigra Loess Bluff Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is an upland forest which occurs on moderate to steep sloping loess bluffs associated with the Mississippi River in the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain (TNC Ecoregion 43). This upland deciduous hardwood forest association is dominated by <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Carya illinoinensis</i>, and to a lesser extent <i>Quercus nigra</i>. Other less dominant trees are <i>Quercus pagoda, Quercus shumardii, Quercus velutina, Quercus rubra, Quercus muehlenbergii, Celtis laevigata, Ulmus rubra, Gleditsia triacanthos, Fraxinus americana</i>, and in one ravine bottom site <i>Populus deltoides</i> and <i>Robinia pseudoacacia</i>. Other canopy trees include <i>Liriodendron tulipifera, Prunus serotina, Sassafras albidum</i>, and <i>Quercus michauxii</i>. Subcanopy trees with the highest cover include <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra, Morus rubra, Acer negundo, Liriodendron tulipifera, Celtis laevigata, Ulmus alata, Magnolia grandiflora, Quercus muehlenbergii</i>, and <i>Sassafras albidum</i>. The complete lack of <i>Quercus alba</i> is notable and helps separate this from other associations.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32966-{394A421C-6CF1-49D9-BF8B-B846C0A192F8} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
