Name: Liriodendron tulipifera - Pinus strobus - (Tsuga canadensis) / Carpinus caroliniana / Amphicarpaea bracteata Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association comprises small-stream floodplain forests of the shale lowlands of Virginia's Ridge and Valley and parts of the Northern Blue Ridge. Sites encompass the bottoms and toeslope terraces of small, high-order, more-or-less high-gradient mountain streams at elevations less than 760 m (2500 feet). <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i> and <i>Pinus strobus</i> are the most constant and abundant canopy trees, but <i>Tsuga canadensis, Quercus alba</i>, and <i>Betula lenta</i> are locally codominant. Many additional species occur as minor canopy or understory trees. <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i> and <i>Cornus florida</i> are dominant in the shrub layer. It has an extremely diverse though not particularly dense herbaceous stratum, with a mixture of wetland and upland species.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36472-{537818C4-F588-43FC-B185-4897C95D23EA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 22
