Name: Quercus pagoda - Magnolia grandiflora - Fagus grandifolia / Hydrangea quercifolia / Thelypteris kunthii Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is restricted to steep ridge-and-ravine topography on deep loess soil deposits associated with the Mississippi River in Louisiana and adjacent Mississippi. The woody flora is extremely diverse and is characteristic of this association. <i>Quercus pagoda</i> is possibly the most common and diagnostic overstory tree in existing examples (possibly as a result of removal of other hardwood species). A variety of other tree species may be encountered, such as <i>Fagus grandifolia, Magnolia grandiflora, Quercus shumardii, Quercus nigra, Quercus michauxii, Fraxinus americana, Platanus occidentalis, Acer negundo, Ulmus americana, Ulmus rubra</i>, and <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>. When compared to other mesic forests of the region, other diagnostic features of this type are the prevalence of <i>Arundinaria gigantea</i> (often a dominant in the shrub layer), and the abundance of <i>Cystopteris protrusa</i> and <i>Thelypteris kunthii</i>. A variety of other herbaceous species may be present, suggesting both mesic and rich conditions for the region. This vegetation is known from the Tunica Hills in Louisiana.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35682-{E0EB2D5F-742E-48B8-BBAA-E0697B41C68F} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
