Name: Quercus laurifolia - Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Nyssa aquatica / Sabal minor Tidal Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest occurs in tidally flooded brownwater situations in the East Gulf Coastal Plain. The canopy is dominated by <i>Quercus laurifolia, Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>, and <i>Nyssa aquatica</i>, with <i>Taxodium distichum, Populus heterophylla</i>, and <i>Betula nigra</i> as frequent components as well. Historically, <i>Taxodium distichum</i> may have been more abundant, but it was reduced by timber harvest and failure to regenerate. <i>Fraxinus caroliniana</i> locally forms a subcanopy. The shrub layer is strongly dominated by <i>Sabal minor</i>. <i>Ilex verticillata</i> and <i>Cornus foemina</i> are widely scattered. Characteristic woody vines (lianas) include <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Gelsemium rankinii</i>, and <i>Wisteria frutescens</i>. Herbs are generally sparse and of low diversity; <i>Justicia ovata</i> and <i>Carex gigantea</i> are typical. This community forms extensive stands in the lower reaches of the braided Mobile-Tensaw system (Mobile and Baldwin counties, Alabama), and possibly in other areas as well.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36067-{6B0019B4-C60C-4C18-8B4A-EE5DA566D029} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
