Name: Quercus sinuata var. sinuata - Ulmus crassifolia / Sabal minor Red River Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a temporarily flooded bottomland forest that occurs in bottomlands along the Red River in Arkansas and probably adjacent areas of Oklahoma and Texas. No high-quality occurrences are known; this description is from degraded remnants. Soils are deep, somewhat poorly drained, level and nearly level clay soils on broad flats on the Red River (Holocene backswamp geomorphology). Surface is circumneutral to mildly alkaline, and subsurface is moderately alkaline with some calcium carbonate concretions. Hydric indicators, including mottles, are present; intersecting slickensides indicate potential gilgai topography. In dry conditions, cracks (up to 2 inches wide) extend to a depth of 20 inches. <i>Quercus sinuata</i> dominates along with <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i>. Other common species include <i>Quercus phellos, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus falcata, Quercus shumardii, Ulmus americana, Acer saccharinum</i>, and <i>Celtis laevigata</i>. The structure of stands is an open forest or woodland with grass, sedge and <i>Sabal minor</i> ground layer.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32974-{BCF77484-7F77-489E-BB20-655EADB0DC6F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
