Description:
This forest is common along small floodplains in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and possibly Louisiana. <i>Quercus phellos</i> or <i>Quercus nigra</i> may dominate this temporarily flooded forest; some stands may contain considerable <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Quercus alba</i> may be present. Some other associated species include <i>Pinus glabra, Pinus taeda, Quercus pagoda, Quercus alba, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus similis, Ulmus alata, Carya tomentosa, Carya glabra, Carya ovata, Nyssa biflora</i>, and others. Occurrences often have many species in the canopy, and variability of species composition from occurrence to occurrence may be relatively large. The subcanopy/shrub stratum is well-developed and contains canopy species, as well as <i>Crataegus viridis, Chionanthus virginicus, Acer rubrum, Vaccinium elliottii, Ilex decidua, Ilex vomitoria, Vaccinium stamineum, Cornus florida, Sabal minor, Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis, Crataegus marshallii, Arundinaria gigantea</i>, and others.
