Name: Robinia pseudoacacia - Celtis occidentalis - (Fraxinus americana, Liriodendron tulipifera) Ruderal Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: A dry-mesic to mesic successional slope forest of the Ridge and Valley, with <i>Robinia pseudoacacia</i> (up to 50%) and <i>Celtis occidentalis</i> (5-50%) making up most of the total canopy cover; <i>Fraxinus americana</i> or <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> may contribute 1-75% of the total canopy cover. Other common canopy species are <i>Acer saccharum</i> and <i>Ulmus rubra</i>. The subcanopy is typically dominated by <i>Acer saccharum</i> and <i>Asimina triloba</i>. This differs from the ~<i>Robinia pseudoacacia </i>Ruderal Forest (CEGL007279)$$ in having a more mixed canopy, in occurring over calcareous substrates, and in having calciphilic species. This successional forest is found on calcareous shale ridges and knobs, and at least some stands are thought to have resulted from clearcutting.
