Name: Quercus lyrata - Carya aquatica Floodplain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This bottomland forest ranges from the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain west to the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain. The canopy is typically dominated by <i>Quercus lyrata</i> and <i>Carya aquatica</i>. It is distinguished from other <i>Quercus lyrata</i> forests of the Gulf region by the absence of <i>Quercus texana</i>. Stands that lack <i>Quercus texana</i> and have either significant amounts of <i>Carya aquatica</i> are covered here [see Similar Associations). Other canopy associates may include <i>Gleditsia aquatica, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum var. drummondii, Taxodium distichum, Populus deltoides</i>, and <i>Diospyros virginiana</i>. Shrubs include <i>Planera aquatica, Cornus foemina</i>, and <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>. Subcanopy, shrub, herbaceous, and vine density and diversity are directly affected by the timing, duration, and depth of seasonal flooding. Herbaceous growth and diversity will be limited in areas of consistently longer hydroperiod. More detailed information is needed on the floristics and environment of this association.
