Name: Quercus lyrata / Betula nigra / Pleopeltis polypodioides ssp. michauxiana Pond Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest is found in an apparently unique isolated upland depression of the Eastern Highland Rim of Tennessee. The only example of this seasonally flooded forest community is known from Sinking Pond, Coffee County, Tennessee; it is inundated for 6 months of the year in winter and spring. The water may be up to 4.5 m deep at its greatest depth. Soils are Fragiaquults of the Guthrie series. In areas of 1 m or greater depth, <i>Quercus lyrata</i> (up to 130 cm dbh) forms a nearly single-species community. In shallower areas other species may be found; these include <i>Quercus phellos, Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa aquatica, Nyssa biflora, Betula nigra, Acer rubrum, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Styrax americanus, Aronia arbutifolia</i>, and <i>Campsis radicans</i>. No herbaceous ground layer exists. Mosses, lichens and epiphytic <i>Pleopeltis polypodioides ssp. michauxiana</i> can often be found on tree trunks.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33743-{64A93F89-D703-40D5-81CF-CEB87B9A0AF2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
