Additional species found include black walnut (Juglans nigra), slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), and Ohio buckeye (Aesculus glabra) (Fernald Integrated Site Environmental Report 1999).
This study addresses plasticity of Aesculus glabra leaf traits in response to small-scale (within-canopy, within-stand) gradients of light availability in a temperate deciduous forest.
Based on relative importance values (RIV), the important species for the floodplain woods to the north of the summit are Populus deltoides, Ulmus americana, Platanus occidentalis, and Robinia pseudoacacia, while the important species for the floodplain woods to the south of the summit are Acer saccharum, Aesculus glabra, Ulmus rubra, and Celtis occidentalis.
The overstory here is more diverse and other important species ave Aesculus glabra, Celtis occidentalis, Carya spp., Fraxinus spp., Juglans nigra, and Ulmus americana.
