Name: Acer rubrum - Liriodendron tulipifera Ruderal Flooded & Swamp Forest Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These broad-leaved deciduous forests are successional or ruderal and occur in wetlands, bottomlands, and temporarily or seasonally flooded riparian areas. They are dominated by trees such as <i>Acer rubrum, Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa biflora</i>, and on wetter sites <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Salix nigra</i>, and even <i>Taxodium distichum</i> in areas which have long hydroperiods. Exotic trees can be present, but are not dominant in these ruderal wetlands, including <i>Albizia julibrissin, Melia azedarach, Morus alba</i>, and in the Gulf Coastal Plain <i>Triadica sebifera</i>. A shrub midstory is typical, mostly of broad-leaved, deciduous shrubs. In general there are more broad-leaved, evergreen shrubs further south and closer to the coast. <i>Morella cerifera</i> is a very common nitrogen-fixing shrub in the Southern Coastal Plain. Herbaceous species are sparse, but can include certain ferns, graminoids and forbs. Understory exotic plants (of various growth forms) such as <i>Ligustrum sinense, Lonicera japonica</i>, and <i>Microstegium vimineum</i> commonly occur in forests of this alliance. This alliance occurs in the south-central and southeastern United States. The many different kinds of sites have varied duration and depth of flooding.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38630-{31BDBD2E-DF95-488C-8B34-C7C4C44656C0} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
