Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This bur oak - swamp white oak hardwoods bottomland forest alliance occurs in the central midwestern United States and possibly southern Ontario, Canada. The tree canopy may be closed to moderately open. The dominant tree species include <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i> and <i>Quercus bicolor</i>. <i>Carya laciniosa</i> is often found in stands of this alliance, along with species such as <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus shumardii, Carya illinoinensis, Populus deltoides</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. Understory species include <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex</i> spp., <i>Cinna</i> spp., <i>Leersia</i> spp., <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Uvularia sessilifolia</i>. Stands of this alliance are found on slackwater deposits with moderately well-drained to poorly drained soils. In Kentucky, the dominant tree species are indicators of less acidic soils with a higher base status.
