Name: Acer floridanum - Quercus shumardii - Fraxinus americana Coastal Plain Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes mesic calcareous forests of the coastal plains of the southeastern United States. Canopies are diverse and may contain <i>Acer floridanum, Aesculus glabra, Carya myristiciformis, Fraxinus americana, Juglans nigra, Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus shumardii, Tilia americana var. caroliniana, Ulmus rubra</i>, and other calciphilic deciduous trees. The forests of this alliance occur on moist flats, lower slopes, or bluffs over calcareous substrates. Examples of areas from which these forests are known include limestones of the East Gulf Coastal Plain, the Black Belt (Selma Chalk) of the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain, and related areas in other parts of the southeastern coastal plains, including the Red Hills of Alabama. It is probably also found on terraces along the Broad River, in the Georgia Piedmont, and on low to midslopes along the Savannah River, reportedly on circumneutral (high magnesium) soils in the Outer Coastal Plain.
