This forest is common in river swamps and low, moist bottomlands in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain, the Red River Valley of Louisiana, and adjacent parts of the West Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas and Arkansas. It ranges north to southern Illinois, southeastern Indiana, and western Kentucky, and east to parts of Mississippi and Alabama. The mosaic of possible hydrologic conditions results in considerable species diversity, but <i>Quercus lyrata</i> and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> are usually dominant. It is distinguished from other <i>Quercus lyrata</i> forests of the Gulf region by lacking <i>Quercus texana</i>, and having more <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i> than <i>Carya aquatica</i> [see Similar Associations). This type is drier than forests in which <i>Carya aquatica</i> is codominant. Other canopy species commonly include <i>Ulmus americana, Carya aquatica, Fraxinus profunda, Celtis laevigata, Acer rubrum, Acer saccharinum</i>, and <i>Quercus palustris</i> (north of the range of <i>Quercus texana</i>). Trees in this forest are generally tall (30-45 m [100-150 feet]), and often exhibit thick trunks and stout branches that form broad irregular crowns. Oaks are generally of medium height, while <i>Liquidambar</i> may reach 45 m (150 feet) in height with tall, straight trunks. Canopy closure is complete (70-100%), and subcanopy, shrub, herbaceous, and vine density and diversity are directly affected by the timing, duration, and depth of seasonal flooding. The subcanopy in some occurrences is dense and is dominated by <i>Crataegus viridis</i> and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. The shrub layer is dominated by <i>Forestiera acuminata, Planera aquatica, Cornus foemina (= Cornus stricta), Ilex decidua</i>, and <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>. Vines may be dense and include <i>Brunnichia ovata, Campsis radicans</i>, and <i>Vitis</i> spp. Commonly encountered herbaceous species include <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex lupulina, Commelina virginica, Laportea canadensis, Ludwigia palustris, Pilea pumila, Polygonum hydropiperoides, Triadenum tubulosum</i>, and <i>Cinna arundinacea</i> (in the more northern parts of the association's distribution). Herbaceous growth and diversity will be limited in areas of consistently longer hydroperiod. Stands occur on level to gently sloping bottomlands along streams and rivers, in sinkhole basins, or in shallow sloughs. Flooding occurs seasonally or during periods of heavy precipitation, often resulting in ponding. A high water table is present. The deep soils (greater than 100 cm in depth), derived from alluvial parent material, are somewhat poorly drained and are seasonally wet. |

This pin oak - swamp white oak forest community type is found in the central United States. Stands occur on wet, poorly drained depressions and contain a closed to partially open canopy dominated by <i>Quercus palustris</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i>. Oaks should comprise at least 25% of the dominance in a stand. Other typical canopy associates may dominate, including <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica</i>, and <i>Quercus bicolor</i>. Other wetland hardwood species can occur, including <i>Acer saccharinum, Betula nigra, Quercus macrocarpa</i>, and <i>Quercus rubra</i>. Shrub and vine species are variable and may include <i>Cornus</i> spp., <i>Lindera benzoin, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and <i>Sambucus canadensis</i>. Herbaceous species also vary widely. Herbaceous species noted from a site in the Western Allegheny Plateau include <i>Cinna arundinacea</i> (dominant), with other associates including <i>Carex blanda, Carex laxiculmis, Carex rosea, Elymus riparius, Elymus virginicus, Cardamine bulbosa, Cardamine pensylvanica, Claytonia virginica, Oxalis violacea</i>, and <i>Podophyllum peltatum</i>. |

This black spruce / feathermoss forest is found widely throughout the hemi-boreal regions of Canada and into adjacent areas of the midwestern United States, especially Minnesota. Stands occur on level to gently sloping ground. Soils are typically moderately well-drained, coarse loams, sands, and silts. The canopy of this community is closed and heavily dominated by <i>Picea mariana</i> with small amounts of <i>Abies balsamea, Betula papyrifera, Picea glauca, Pinus banksiana</i>, and <i>Populus tremuloides</i>. The shrub and herb layers are poorly developed. Species that are most abundant in these layers include the shrubs <i>Corylus cornuta, Gaultheria procumbens, Ledum groenlandicum, Rosa acicularis, Vaccinium angustifolium</i>, and <i>Vaccinium myrtilloides</i> and the herbs <i>Eurybia macrophylla (= Aster macrophyllus), Cornus canadensis, Equisetum arvense</i>, and <i>Maianthemum canadense</i>. Feathermosses, particularly <i>Pleurozium schreberi</i>, are very abundant. |
