Swamp white oak is a consistent though mostly a minor component of hydromesophytic forest communities in which other species usually dominate. Tree species that commonly grow in association with swamp white oak are pin oak (Quercus palustris), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), silver maple (A. saccharinum), American elm (Ulmus americana), eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), bur oak Quercus macrocarpa), shellbark and shagbark hickory (Carya laciniosa and C. ovata), blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), black willow (Salix nigra), and American basswood (Tilia americana) (3,4,6). Swamp white oak occurs in four forest cover types: Black Ash-American Elm-Red Maple (Society of American Foresters Type 39), Bur Oak (Type 42), Silver Maple-American Elm (Type 62), and Pin Oak-Sweetgum (Type 65). It is usually found singly in these types but occasionally may be abundant in small areas (6).
