Name: Populus deltoides - Fraxinus pennsylvanica / Salix spp. Flooded & Swamp Forest Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This macrogroup is composed of woodlands and forests found along large to small rivers in the western and central Great Plains from southern Canada to the Texas panhandle. <i>Populus deltoides</i> is the most common tree and may be nearly the only species in the overstory in some stands. Other common trees are <i>Acer negundo, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Salix nigra, Salix amygdaloides</i>, and, in the southeastern portion of this macrogroup's range, <i>Celtis laevigata</i> and <i>Platanus occidentalis</i>. The shrub and herbaceous layers are much more diverse than the canopy across the range of this macrogroup with no single species common throughout. Typical shrubs include <i>Artemisia cana ssp. cana, Cornus</i> spp., <i>Salix</i> spp., and <i>Symphoricarpos occidentalis</i>. The herbaceous stratum is strongly influenced by surrounding upland Great Plains grasslands and often contains mid- and tallgrass species.
