Comm #10971	Pinus edulis / Leymus ambiguus Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.32867.CEGL002908	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0
Comm #10972	Quercus pagoda - Liquidambar styraciflua - Pinus taeda Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.35309.CEGL007899	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This temporarily flooded floodplain forest occurs along intermediate-sized streams (as well as some larger river systems) in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Louisiana and Texas. Its canopy dominants include <i>Quercus pagoda, Liquidambar styraciflua, Pinus taeda, Quercus michauxii</i>, and <i>Quercus laurifolia</i>. Other characteristic tree species include <i>Carya glabra, Quercus similis, Ulmus alata, Ulmus americana, Fraxinus</i> sp., <i>Quercus alba, Nyssa sylvatica</i>, and occasional <i>Taxodium distichum</i>. Understory trees include <i>Carpinus caroliniana, Crataegus marshallii, Symplocos tinctoria, Ostrya virginiana, Ulmus alata</i>, and (rarely) <i>Acer leucoderme</i>. Woody vines include <i>Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Smilax rotundifolia</i>. Shrubs may include <i>Sambucus canadensis, Sebastiania fruticosa</i>, and <i>Ilex vomitoria</i>. The herb stratum is sparse but can include <i>Carex</i> spp., <i>Chasmanthium</i> spp., <i>Osmunda cinnamomea, Onoclea sensibilis</i>, and others. Soils are silt loams. It has a longer hydroperiod than ~<i>Fagus grandifolia - Pinus taeda - (Liquidambar styraciflua, Magnolia grandiflora, Quercus alba)</i> Small Stream Forest (CEGL007320)$$. The type description is based on intermediate stream floodplains in central-northern Louisiana, but it is being applied more widely, including examples on larger rivers in Texas, such as the Neches. This type is presumed to be more prevalent outside the range of <i>Magnolia grandiflora</i>, but is presumed also to occur in parts of eastern Texas within that range.

Comm #10976	Podocarpus aristulatus Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.35534.CEGL008319	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	Dense montane cloud forest dominated by <i>Podocarpus aristulatus</i>, or codominated by the former species and <i>Didymopanax tremulus</i>, on the summits of Sierra de Neiba and highlands of Cordillera Central, between 1800 and 2200 m elevation. Old trees may attain 25 m high with trunks about 1 m diameter at base. Other tree species present in this association may include <i>Ocotea wrightii, Ocotea cicatricosa</i> and <i>Persea krugii</i>. Vascular and nonvascular epiphytes are abundant. DISTRIBUTION: Hispaniola (Dominican Republic): Sierra de Neiba; Cordillera Central, in La Nevera (Reserva de Valle Nuevo).
Comm #10977	Quercus michauxii - Liquidambar styraciflua - Quercus texana - Quercus lyrata Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.35432.CEGL007906	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This community occurs along intermediate-sized streams in the West Gulf Coastal Plain. It is intermediate in hydrology, in that it lacks <i>Pinus taeda</i>, yet supports other species not typical of very wet bottomland hardwood forests. The overstory is characterized by <i>Quercus michauxii, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus texana, Quercus lyrata, Quercus nigra, Ulmus americana, Carya aquatica, Carya glabra</i>, and (at least at times) <i>Carya ovata</i>. The midstory is typically greatly dominated by <i>Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana</i>, although some <i>Ulmus alata, Crataegus marshallii, Crataegus viridis</i> may be present. <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> is a common shrub. Additionally, <i>Arundinaria gigantea</i> is common in patches. Common vines include <i>Bignonia capreolata, Toxicodendron radicans, Smilax rotundifolia, Ampelopsis arborea, Berchemia scandens</i>, and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i>. Although the ground is well-shaded, there are patches of <i>Chasmanthium</i> spp., <i>Carex</i> spp., and <i>Saururus cernuus</i>. Other herbs may include <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Polygonum virginianum, Elephantopus carolinianus</i>, and <i>Mitchella repens</i>.
Comm #10978	(Pinus palustris) - Quercus stellata - Quercus marilandica - Carya texana / Tragia urens Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.36412.CEGL007907	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This woodland occurs on narrow, topographically isolated, convex ridgetops and interstream divides on the West Gulf Coastal Plain within a landscape heavily dominated by <i>Pinus palustris</i>. The canopy is strongly dominated by <i>Quercus stellata</i>. Lesser amounts of <i>Carya texana, Pinus palustris</i>, and <i>Quercus marilandica</i> are present in most examples. <i>Pinus palustris</i> often occurs in the canopy and, although not usually dominant, may be much taller than the hardwoods which are present. A fairly well-developed midstory is present, with <i>Quercus marilandica, Pinus taeda, Cornus florida, Carya texana</i>, and a variety of shrubs, including <i>Callicarpa americana, Ilex vomitoria, Sassafras albidum, Viburnum rufidulum, Persea borbonia</i>, and <i>Magnolia grandiflora</i>. This community most often occurs as inclusions within a matrix of ~<i>Pinus palustris / Schizachyrium scoparium - Rudbeckia grandiflora var. alismifolia</i> Woodland (CEGL003572)$$.
Comm #10979	Taxodium distichum - Fraxinus pennsylvanica Gallery Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.35066.CEGL007928	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This is a streamside gallery forest dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> with <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> usually occurring as the second most important canopy species. It forms a very narrow band along deeply incised (15 feet) stretches of Linnville Bayou and possibly other streams in the Caney Creek and Colorado, San Bernard and Brazos river drainages within the Coastal Plain of Texas. Cypress knees to a height of 4 feet are common in the creek bed. There is no significant mid- or understory though <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> and <i>Sabal minor</i> do occur. <i>Boehmeria cylindrica</i> and <i>Saururus cernuus</i> may be present in the ground layer which is sparse, highly disturbed by flooding and may have areas of standing water. Deep alluvial soils are usually saturated and periodically inundated during flood events. The surrounding forests include ~<i>Quercus virginiana / Ilex vomitoria - Sabal minor / Carex cherokeensis - Malvaviscus arboreus</i> var. <i>drummondii</i> Forest (CEGL007830)$$ and ~<i>Ulmus crassifolia - Carya illinoinensis - Celtis laevigata / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Carex cherokeensis</i> Forest (CEGL002388)$$.
Comm #10980	Cornus drummondii - (Prunus spp., Rhus spp.) Shrubland » more details accession code: VB.CC.34751.CEGL007933	Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...	0	This community is found in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and possibly other adjacent states. It occupies disturbed or successional uplands over limestones, dolomites, or other neutral to basic substrates. The vegetation consists of thickets or patches of shrubs 2-3 m tall. <i>Cornus drummondii</i> and <i>Rhus glabra</i> are usually the dominant species, although <i>Prunus americana, Prunus angustifolia, Prunus mexicana, Rhus aromatica, Rhus copallinum</i>, or <i>Symphoricarpos orbiculatus</i> may dominate in places. Where shrub cover is dense, vines such as <i>Berchemia scandens, Toxicodendron radicans</i>, and <i>Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i> may be present. Under the dense canopy, the herbaceous layer may be sparse, consisting of various native grasses and forbs, but also exotic species such as <i>Lespedeza cuneata</i>. In open stands, the herbaceous layer is more dense and consists of species common to perennial glade-margin associations.
