Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This sycamore - river birch floodplain forest alliance occurs along riverfronts in calcareous areas of the central midwestern United States and southern Ontario, Canada, but its overall distribution is uncertain. It also includes forests along small streams. These floodplain forests vary from small-statured (5-15 m tall) stands to taller (15-25 m) mature stands. Stands are dominated by <i>Platanus occidentalis</i> or <i>Betula nigra</i> with a mixture of other species, including <i>Acer negundo, Acer saccharinum, Fraxinus americana, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Juglans nigra, Ulmus americana</i>, and <i>Ulmus rubra</i>.
