Name: Salix nigra - Fraxinus pennsylvanica Floodplain Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest occurs on moderately well-drained, sandy clay loam soils on lower convex slopes of levees of associated rivers in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain and possibly in adjacent regions; global distribution needs assessment. These sites are temporarily flooded with a high frequency of flooding that is of shorter duration than in lower areas farther from the river. The mostly closed to closed canopy layer is strongly dominated by <i>Salix nigra</i>. Other typical species in the canopy include <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Platanus occidentalis</i>, and likely others. The shrub layer is sparse; species present include <i>Salix nigra, Taxodium distichum, Planera aquatica, Celtis laevigata, Platanus occidentalis, Acer rubrum, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer negundo</i>, and likely others. The herbaceous stratum typically is sparse. Species present in the herbaceous layer include <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Saururus cernuus</i>, and others. The vine layer is absent to very sparse.
