Name: Nyssa biflora - Quercus laurifolia / Sphagnum spp. Riparian Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest occurs in shallow depressions along streams in western Louisiana and in relict stream sloughs in the pine flatwoods of southwestern Louisiana. It includes occurrences that do and do not receive overbank flooding. In the flatwoods, this forest generally occurs just downslope from ~<i>Quercus laurifolia - Liquidambar styraciflua - Nyssa biflora - Acer rubrum / Sabal minor</i> Floodplain Forest (CEGL007804)$$. Flooding occurs for 4-6 months a year. The acidic silty soils are overlain by organic muck and leaf litter but are not as peaty and are slightly less acidic than East Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains <i>Nyssa biflora</i> forests. In addition to <i>Nyssa biflora</i> and <i>Quercus laurifolia</i>, this forest also may contain <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i> in the canopy. A poorly developed shrub layer of <i>Ilex verticillata</i> and <i>Itea virginica</i> may also be present. <i>Sphagnum</i> forms a dense, continuous ground cover. This community is known from the West Gulf Coastal Plain.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35636-{C0AD948F-1838-4DE0-BF48-9E2E37EA20B0} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
