Name: Taxodium distichum - Platanus occidentalis Ouachita Foothills Floodplain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These open forests dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> and <i>Platanus occidentalis</i> occur along rocky banks of the lower Mountain Fork of the Red River in the Ouachita Mountain foothills. These forests are also known from the Saline and Maumelle rivers, and perhaps in other small rivers that flow into the Arkansas River. Other trees include <i>Betula nigra, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and less commonly <i>Carya aquatica, Ulmus</i> spp., <i>Celtis</i> spp., and <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>. These forests occur in a complex with shrublands dominated by <i>Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana, Ilex vomitoria, Cornus obliqua</i>, and <i>Salix caroliniana</i> and open grasslands with <i>Calamovilfa arcuata, Panicum virgatum</i>, and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>. More information is needed to better name this association. Alliance placement must also be examined.
