CEGL004797 Quercus palustris - Carya illinoinensis / Ilex decidua Floodplain Forest
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Pin Oak - Pecan / Possum-haw Floodplain Forest
Colloquial Name: Pin Oak Floodplain Forest
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association is described from the Verdigris and Neosho rivers in northeastern Oklahoma, where it occurs on moist to wet soils of bottomlands and floodplains. The canopy is characteristically dominated by Quercus palustris and Carya illinoinensis. A characteristic species of the subcanopy or tall-shrub layer is Ilex decidua. Other characteristic species include Ampelopsis cordata, Celtis laevigata, Cinna arundinacea, Crataegus viridis, Gleditsia triacanthos, Morus rubra, Packera glabella, and Ulmus rubra.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This type needs review in relation to other related types. The area of the overlap of the natural ranges of Quercus palustris and Carya illinoinensis is actually quite limited (primarily in eastern Oklahoma), so as described, this type would have a limited range, but that may be simply an artifact of the distributions of those nominal species.
