This <i>Panicum abscissum</i>-dominated swale community is found in central Florida on the Lake Wales Ridge where it occurs in a matrix of scrub and flatwoods vegetation. <i>Panicum abscissum</i> forms a dense, almost monospecific turf, with a scattering of various other wetland herbs and shrubs. |

These are sandstone barrens found on clifftops, exposed slopes, and other rocky areas in the Cumberland Plateau (and rarely adjacent provinces), with patches of vegetation in thin soils. Stands are dominated by species such as <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Danthonia sericea, Liatris microcephala, Eurybia surculosa, Hypericum gentianoides, Minuartia glabra</i> (in some occurrences), <i>Allium cuthbertii</i> (in some occurrences), <i>Phemeranthus mengesii, Nuttallanthus canadensis, Opuntia humifusa, Sporobolus vaginiflorus, Erigeron strigosus, Grimmia</i> spp., and fruticose lichens such as <i>Cladonia</i> spp. Scattered trees and shrubs, such as <i>Pinus virginiana, Vaccinium arboreum</i>, and <i>Chionanthus virginicus</i>, may occur on the margins of the community, and in patches of deeper soil. |

This association consists of older <i>Pinus taeda</i> stands of the Atlantic and East Gulf coastal plains, adjacent areas of the Talladega Uplands, and the southern Interior Low Plateau. Stands are usually naturally regenerated or successional, and possibly silviculturally managed with frequent fire. They have an open to closed canopy of <i>Pinus taeda</i>, with some growth of saplings such as <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. Other <i>Pinus</i> species may occur in the canopy in some parts of the range (e.g., <i>Pinus echinata, Pinus virginiana</i>). The ground layer approaches 100% coverage and is typically grassy, with <i>Saccharum alopecuroides, Andropogon virginicus, Andropogon ternarius, Schizachyrium scoparium, Chasmanthium laxum</i>, and other grasses dominant in various mixtures, varying with geography. The ground layer, which may vary in density and diversity, may also contain low shrubs and saplings, as well as forb species characteristic of open habitats such as <i>Ageratina aromatica, Symphyotrichum patens, Symphyotrichum dumosum, Elephantopus tomentosus, Chamaecrista fasciculata, Chrysopsis mariana, Eupatorium album, Eupatorium hyssopifolium, Euphorbia corollata, Fleischmannia incarnata, Lespedeza</i> spp., <i>Liatris microcephala, Pityopsis graminifolia, Silphium trifoliatum, Tephrosia virginiana, Rubus</i> spp., <i>Desmodium</i> spp., <i>Solidago juncea</i>, and <i>Solidago odora</i>. Some stands may contain shrubs such as <i>Vaccinium pallidum</i> and <i>Vaccinium stamineum</i>, while woody vines such as <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i> and <i>Vitis rotundifolia</i> may be prominent in the low-shrub layer of more mesic stands. The exotics <i>Lespedeza cuneata</i> and <i>Lonicera japonica</i> may also be present to abundant. The canopy closure may be below 60% due to edaphic factors (e.g., sandy soils) or management, but this is classed as a forest type. |

These <i>Pinus taeda</i> stands, with few to no hardwoods, occur on higher ridges in floodplains and develop following natural disturbance. Stands are dominated by <i>Pinus taeda</i>. Associated species vary with geography and floodplain position, but include <i>Quercus lyrata, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus nigra, Quercus phellos, Quercus michauxii, Celtis laevigata, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Nyssa biflora</i>. In Oklahoma, associates include <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Quercus falcata, Quercus shumardii, Ulmus americana, Carpinus caroliniana, Crataegus marshallii, Ilex opaca, Morus rubra, Nyssa biflora, Arundinaria gigantea, Berchemia scandens, Carex lupulina</i>, and <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i>. |

This riverine community is dominated or codominated by <i>Salix nigra</i>. Often, <i>Salix nigra</i> is generally the sole dominant with few other species present. It occurs on recently deposited ground in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain and other large river floodplains of the southeastern United States. This association also includes some "sandbar forest" examples with <i>Platanus occidentalis</i> and <i>Populus deltoides</i> sharing dominance with <i>Salix nigra</i>. |

This forest appears to be the driest upland community present in the loessal region of southern Crowley's Ridge, Arkansas. Stands occur in high landscape positions on narrow ridges of very limited size and extent. The most diagnostic feature of this forest is dominance of <i>Quercus stellata</i> in the overstory, along with a significant component of <i>Quercus falcata</i>. <i>Quercus velutina</i> may also be present. <i>Quercus alba</i> is typically uncommon or absent (found more frequently on dry-mesic locations, typically downslope). <i>Ostrya virginiana</i> is common in the subcanopy, as it is in nearly all upland forests on this portion of Crowley's Ridge. <i>Carya pallida</i> and <i>Sassafras albidum</i> are also indicative of this type, and are generally lacking from other southern Crowley's Ridge forests. The density and composition of the herbaceous layer of this forest varies according to management history, but can be quite lush and fairly diverse. |
