Name: Salix nigra Ozark Floodplain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: The black willow forest type is found widely but sporadically in the Ozarks and Ouachitas of the southeastern United States. Stands occur on the banks of small to large rivers where they are a component of point bar succession. It may also be present in the inflows of manmade lakes where similar sand bars may develop over time and where the seasonal draining patterns of the lake may mimic similar natural processes. Surface water is present for brief periods during the growing season, but the water table usually lies well below soil surface. The vegetation is a closed-canopy forest dominated by <i>Salix nigra</i>. Associates may include <i>Populus deltoides, Betula nigra, Platanus occidentalis, Celtis laevigata, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Diospyros virginiana, Cornus drummondii, Ulmus americana, Acer rubrum, Acer negundo</i>, and <i>Acer saccharinum</i>. Shrubs and herbaceous plants are absent to fairly dense. They include <i>Nekemias arborea, Mikania scandens, Toxicodendron radicans, Polygonum</i> spp., <i>Erechtites hieraciifolius, Boehmeria cylindrica</i>, and <i>Phytolacca americana</i>.
