Name: Quercus phellos - Quercus similis / Crataegus marshallii - Crataegus spathulata / Chasmanthium laxum Wet Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This West Gulf Coastal Plain flatwoods forest is dominated by <i>Quercus phellos</i> and <i>Quercus similis</i>. It occurs over somewhat poorly drained, predominantly acidic, silt loams overlying clays on secondary or "high" stream terraces deposited during the Pleistocene. These sites are periodically flooded and ponded with standing water, but overbank flooding occurs only rarely. This type is known from Louisiana and Texas, and may occur in southwestern Arkansas. <i>Pinus taeda</i> often occurs along the periphery of most examples and may be a significant component of the canopy in disturbed examples. Several species of <i>Crataegus</i>, including <i>Crataegus viridis, Crataegus opaca, Crataegus marshallii, Crataegus spathulata</i>, and <i>Crataegus brachyacantha</i>, are characteristic of both the subcanopy and understory. The understory of this community is typically patchy, with large open spaces occurring between dense patches of shrubs. The short-shrub stratum is often characterized by <i>Sabal minor</i>. The cover of the ground layer is typically sparse but ranges from 50-75% cover in areas with shorter hydroperiods. It is often characterized and dominated by <i>Chasmanthium laxum</i>. Some of the soils on which this community occurs, including the Guyton, Diboll, and Fuller series, are Natraqualfs (i.e., soils with high salt content).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35610-{1D0DA2D6-563B-430F-8099-F2C43DF8FC13} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
