Name: Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Ulmus americana - Salix nigra Floodplain Forest Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This group is composed of deciduous floodplain or swamp forests found primarily in the coastal plains of the southeastern United States. These forests are typically dominated by some combination of <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Populus deltoides, Salix caroliniana, Salix nigra</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. In addition, some examples contain or are codominated by <i>Acer negundo, Betula nigra, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and/or <i>Platanus occidentalis</i>. The composition and physiognomy of the shrub and herbaceous layers are quite variable due to the broad geographic area in which this group occurs, as well as the dynamics of the frequent disturbances. Common shrubs include <i>Cornus drummondii, Ilex vomitoria, Lindera benzoin, Smilax</i> spp., and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>. Sites are typically on sandbars, riverfronts, and levees of rivers and small streams, though some examples occur on the edges of lakes, and one alliance occurs primarily in the swales of Atlantic coastal dunes.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40342-{3F732BB9-8408-464D-9746-A95E0A034D69} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
