Name: Liquidambar styraciflua - Celtis laevigata - Quercus nigra Ruderal Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes a variety of semi-natural disturbance-related upland forests of the southeastern United States dominated by <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra, Celtis laevigata</i>, and other hardwoods. These forests tend to develop after logging or agricultural cropping. Some associations may have <i>Carya tomentosa, Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus alba, Quercus falcata, Quercus nigra, Quercus phellos</i>, and <i>Quercus velutina</i>. In addition, <i>Pinus taeda</i> may be present and abundant. <i>Celtis laevigata</i> semi-natural stands occur in highly disturbed soils in coastal areas of Georgia and possibly adjacent states. <i>Celtis laevigata</i> is the strong canopy dominant in this community. However, exotic tree species such as <i>Melia azedarach, Triadica sebifera</i>, and <i>Morus alba</i> may be scattered throughout. Ground cover species are variable but may include <i>Rubus trivialis</i> and <i>Nekemias arborea</i>.
