Houghton Mifflin Co., New York. 606 pp. This comprehensive work includes discussions of typical habitats for the proposed species for planting. Green ash is represented as nearly ubiqui.tous in growth locales because of its tolerance to extremes of inundation and drought; it generally occurs along stream banks and in floodplain forests Red maple "loves swamps and river floodplains", and can be found in low woods with spring pools or up the hills and valleys of the southeast. Sweetgum is another ubiquitous species which can be found from abandoned upland agricultural fields and fence rows to deep peaty moist soils and swamps. Sycamore can be found bordering ~ivers and lakes and on rich bottoms of floodplains. Boxelder (referred to as ashleaf maple) is commonly found on stream banks. 13. Reed, P~ B., Jr. 1988.

Hillsborough Community College, Tampa, Florida. This study evaluated the growth and survivorship of 11 hardwood species, including red maple, and sweetgum, planted at 6 different (former) mining sites in Florida. The study examined 1 year old seedlings planted on 1 meter centers with leaf litter/mulch, hay and bare soil as treatments. Average groundwater was monitored for 7 months (April to October) to correlate soil moisture and growth. All species had >50% survival at the test plots after one year, with no significant differences between treatments were noted for red maple or sweetgum Red maple showed high survival (89-100%) with average water table from 0-52 cm below grade, and an overall survivorship of 71% after two years. It was subsequently classified as a generali~t ~%ich deals well with all edaphic factors (pH, flooding, nutrients and minerals). Sweetgum showed high survival (63%) with average water table 10 cm below grade, and after two years had a survivorship of 39%. It was listed as a generalist with a wide tolerance for all edaphic factors. 15. Silker, T.H. 1948, Planting of water-tolerant trees along margins of fluctuating-level reservoirs.
