Name: Liriodendron tulipifera - Acer negundo Ruderal Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association includes successional wet to mesic forests occurring in bottoms and on low slopes of the Appalachians and Interior Low Plateau. This vegetation is probably extensive in the Ridge and Valley, Interior Low Plateau, and related provinces. Related vegetation is possible in the Chesapeake Bay region. These stands are apparently successional following intensive timber removal and also occur on old pastures. Examples are generally dominated by <i>Acer negundo</i> and <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>; however, the canopy composition is diverse and variable. In some examples, <i>Acer rubrum</i> may also contribute to the canopy cover. <i>Asimina triloba</i> is present in the subcanopy or shrub strata where it makes up 5-50% of the total cover. <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> may share dominance with <i>Acer rubrum</i> in the canopy of some examples. The exotic grass <i>Microstegium vimineum</i> often dominates the herbaceous layer.
