Name: Acer saccharum - Carya cordiformis Mesic Floodplain Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This mesic hardwood floodplain forest alliance is found in the central, primarily unglaciated, United States. Stands are dominated by a combination of <i>Acer saccharum, Fagus grandifolia</i>, or <i>Carya cordiformis</i>. Stands occur on level to gently sloping ridges, terraces, natural levees, or higher elevations which border river floodplains or streams. Sites often have a ridge-and-swale topography. Mesic moisture conditions are maintained throughout most of the growing season, but some flooding does occur.
