Name: Quercus phellos Piedmont Floodplain Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is found in the Piedmont and adjacent Atlantic Coastal Plain and Chesapeake Bay regions from New Jersey to Mississippi. Depending on the location of an example within this range, canopies are typically dominated by one or more of the following species: <i>Quercus laurifolia</i> (in the coastal plains) <i>Quercus palustris</i> (only from Virginia to New Jersey), and/or <i>Quercus phellos</i>. Other tree species characteristic of forests in this alliance include <i>Acer rubrum, Betula nigra, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus lyrata, Quercus michauxii, Quercus pagoda</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> may increase with disturbance. Stands occur in seasonally flooded portions of active floodplains that periodically receive overbank flooding and hold water into the growing season.
