Classification Comments: This type, defined for forests of Oklahoma and Texas, is dominated by Platanus occidentalis (and Populus deltoides) occurring with Acer negundo. It was placed in ~Populus deltoides Floodplain Forest Alliance (A3423)$$, based on the assumption that this Great Plains association is more similar to types in Kansas [see ~Populus deltoides - Platanus occidentalis Floodplain Forest (CEGL002095)$$ in this alliance] rather than types with these dominants in Kentucky and Tennessee [see ~Acer negundo - (Platanus occidentalis, Populus deltoides) Floodplain Forest (CEGL004690)$$ in ~Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Platanus occidentalis - Acer saccharinum Ozark-Ouachita Floodplain Forest Alliance (A3700)$$]. More information on species composition and environmental variables is needed to better distinguish these forests from one another.
