Name: Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Quercus laurifolia - Quercus lyrata - Carya aquatica Floodplain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This floodplain forest occurs on low natural levees along brownwater rivers of the Atlantic Coastal Plain of North Carolina and possibly other adjacent states. The canopy of these forests is dominated by mixtures of <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus lyrata</i>, and <i>Carya aquatica</i>, with significant amounts of <i>Nyssa aquatica</i> and <i>Taxodium distichum</i>. Other canopy species may include <i>Acer rubrum, Celtis laevigata, Platanus occidentalis, Betula nigra, Acer negundo, Acer saccharinum, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. This type occurs on low levees in the lower reaches of rivers, where more species tolerant of more inundation, such as <i>Quercus lyrata</i> and <i>Carya aquatica</i>, are major components, in combination with characteristic levee species listed above.
