Name: Ulmus crassifolia - Celtis laevigata - (Ulmus rubra) / Carex digitalis - Geum canadense Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This floodplain forest occurs along the southwestern periphery of the Upper West Gulf Coastal Plain (and the adjacent West Gulf Coastal Plain) in eastern Texas. <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i> and <i>Celtis laevigata</i> are diagnostic of this type, and some examples have almost no other overstory species present, although <i>Quercus phellos, Quercus similis</i>, and <i>Ulmus rubra</i> are sometimes present. <i>Ulmus crassifolia</i> and/or <i>Ulmus alata</i> usually dominates the midstory with some <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> also present, as well as <i>Forestiera ligustrina</i> as a shrub. The most frequent herbaceous species include <i>Poa autumnalis, Symphyotrichum racemosum, Elymus virginicus, Trepocarpus aethusae, Ruellia strepens, Dichanthelium commutatum, Carex cherokeensis, Oplismenus hirtellus, Phanopyrum gymnocarpon</i>, and <i>Muhlenbergia schreberi</i>. In addition, <i>Carex digitalis</i> and <i>Geum canadense</i> are characteristic. Seedlings of <i>Poncirus trifoliata</i> (exotic) and <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> may also be common. In lower, wetter portions, the lower strata of this community may be dominated by <i>Chasmanthium latifolium</i> and <i>Sabal minor</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36118-{A2169925-2E86-4BFC-8745-6CDECBFE4342} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
