Ozark-Ouachita: Riparian Mixed Evergreen – Hardwood Woodland
Area: 43,738 acres (17,700 ha)
Description of Mapped Type: This type is mapped along first and second order streams within
narrow buffers, and is represented by vegetation influenced by a variety of water regimes and
human impacts. Shortleaf or loblolly pine (mainly Ouachitas), or eastern redcedar (mainly
Ozarks), is a major component. Other species such as sycamore, river birch, sweetgum,
maples, oaks, and hazel alder may grow near steep banks or adjacent to stream bed cobble.
