Name: Platanus occidentalis - Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Ulmus americana / Cornus sericea Floodplain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This sinkhole pond floodplain forest of northwestern New Jersey occurs in solution sinkholes that developed on Allentown Dolomite bedrock with glacial till / bedrock surficial deposits. Soils are shallow silt loam or silty clay loam over bedrock and somewhat poorly drained. The closed-canopy deciduous forest is dominated by <i>Platanus occidentalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. Other associates may include <i>Carya tomentosa, Carya cordiformis, Celtis occidentalis</i>, or <i>Quercus bicolor</i>. The most common shrub is <i>Cornus sericea</i>, with associates including <i>Ilex verticillata</i> and <i>Spiraea alba var. latifolia</i>. Vines include <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i> and <i>Vitis riparia</i>. The herbaceous layer is characterized by <i>Scutellaria lateriflora, Symphyotrichum racemosum, Lysimachia ciliata, Boehmeria cylindrica</i>, and <i>Carex granularis</i>. Associated herbs include <i>Acalypha rhomboidea, Carex bebbii, Carex pellita, Mentha arvensis, Onoclea sensibilis, Dichanthelium acuminatum var. fasciculatum</i>, and <i>Thelypteris palustris</i>. This association is broadly similar to ~<i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica - (Juglans nigra, Platanus occidentalis)</i> Floodplain Forest (CEGL006575)$$ but differs in its environmental setting (pond floodplain as opposed to alluvial floodplain).
