Name: Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Carya illinoinensis - Quercus macrocarpa Great Plains Floodplain Forest Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These forests are primarily dominated by <i>Carya illinoinensis, Celtis laevigata, Celtis occidentalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus muehlenbergii, Ulmus americana</i>, and <i>Ulmus rubra</i>. Examples also contain the trees <i>Carya aquatica</i> and <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>; the shrubs <i>Cornus drummondii, Forestiera acuminata</i>, and <i>Frangula caroliniana</i>; and the grass <i>Phanopyrum gymnocarpon</i>. This alliance is defined partly by its floristic composition and partly by its biogeographic setting. This biogeographic setting is well west of the distribution of some taxa that are dominant constituents of related forests in the more humid Southeast. It is well understood that floodplain taxa extend their ranges west into otherwise inhospitable regions along major watercourses and their major tributaries. Stands are found in floodplain forests from the East-Central Texas Plains, Texas Blackland Prairie regions, Crosstimbers, and the southeastern edge of the Central Great Plains, including the eastern Edwards Plateau and the Lampasas Cutplain.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38894-{C653E15D-4203-490B-BBD2-5B54F58C1497} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
