Name: Ruderal Mixed Spoil Bank Forest [Park Special]
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This park special association for Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve consists of narrow bands of ruderal vegetation adjacent to and directly flanking waterways, found on narrow spoil banks, artificial levees, and embankments, made of a conglomerate of mineral and muck soils and consisting of a series of narrow patches below-minimum mapping unit (MMU) of various forested natural communities that in total cover many hectares. These narrow patches are too small to be a mappable or functional example of any of those possible communities. Component species can include any of the following (more or less from wet to dry): <i>Taxodium distichum, Nyssa aquatica, Fraxinus profunda, Salix nigra, Acer rubrum, Acer negundo, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra, Quercus virginiana</i>, and others, as well as the exotic <i>Triadica sebifera</i>. A shrub layer of <i>Morella cerifera</i> and/or <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i> is often also present.
