Name: Acer rubrum - Fraxinus pennsylvanica Floodplain Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is widely distributed in the central and eastern United States and may occur in southern Ontario and southern Quebec, Canada. Stands are dominated by broad-leaved deciduous trees and have well-developed shrub and herbaceous strata. <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> are consistently abundant overstory species, but <i>Quercus bicolor, Ulmus americana</i>, and <i>Celtis occidentalis</i> occur frequently. Sites which support stands of this alliance have level or nearly level soils that formed in water-deposited clayey or loamy sediments on floodplains of the rivers and streams. These soils are flooded or saturated for a significant portion of the growing season, and water may be ponded for most of the year in shallow depressions.
