Name: Quercus laurifolia - Quercus michauxii - Liquidambar styraciflua / Carpinus caroliniana Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This type covers forests of brownwater river floodplain terraces and ridges in the Atlantic Coastal Plain and adjacent East Gulf Coastal Plain. Stands lack a significant component of levee tree species, and the concept does not include forests on active natural levees. These are stable bottomland forests found throughout the Atlantic and adjacent East Gulf coastal plains along large or medium-sized rivers. The canopy of these forests is generally dominated by a variable mixture of <i>Quercus michauxii, Quercus pagoda, Quercus phellos, Quercus laurifolia</i>, and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. In addition, <i>Acer rubrum</i> may be abundant. Other hardwoods which may be present include <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Carya ovata, Carya cordiformis, Juglans nigra</i>, and others. Subcanopy species may include <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i> (which may be dominant), <i>Ilex decidua, Asimina triloba</i>, and <i>Ilex opaca var. opaca</i>. The understory is typically dominated by <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i>. Patches of <i>Arundinaria gigantea</i> may be common in places. <i>Vaccinium elliottii</i> and <i>Vaccinium formosum</i> may be the most constant shrubs. Some other frequent species include <i>Mitchella repens</i> and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. Included here are topographically intermediate examples that lack a significant pine component.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33460-{7CA3F99E-0BFE-4B8A-9B63-F0038EA54F30} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 74
