Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: American Sycamore - Green Ash - Sugarberry - (Sweetgum) Floodplain Forest
Colloquial Name: Mississippi River Sycamore Floodplain Forest
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association includes forests of second ridges of big river floodplains in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain of Arkansas and Mississippi. Stands are typically dominated by Platanus occidentalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Celtis laevigata, possibly with Liquidambar styraciflua. In addition, Acer negundo is common in most occurrences, and Fraxinus pennsylvanica may be scarce. Most examples are likely to have had substantial removal of Liquidambar styraciflua. Additional information from Tom Foti and Susan Carr to be added later.
