	Swamp chestnut oak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swamp Chestnut Oak, Quercus michauxii, is a large oak of bottomlands and wetlands in the mid-south United States, and is in the white oak section, Quercus sect.
		However, the Swamp Chestnut Oak is a larger tree which differs in preferred habitat, and the bark does not have the distinctive deep, rugged ridging of the Chestnut Oak.
		The Swamp Chestnut Oak is also called the "Cow Oak" because of its large, relatively sweet (for an oak) acorns, which are readily eaten by livestock.

		Also called oak flats, they were once widespread in the outer Coastal Plain of northeastern North Carolina, but were long ago reduced to a small fraction of their presettlement abundance.
		This belief is supported by the abundance of oak saplings in examples that contain a strong minority of oak in the canopy, suggesting that over time without severe disturbance oaks will increase in the forest.
		The presence and abundance of oaks therefore serves both as an indicator that a community is a Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest rather than a Nonriverine Swamp Forest and as an indicator of its natural quality.

		Although survival of overcup and swamp chestnut oak was similar, the more flood-tolerant overcup oak had much greater growth in wet sites.
		Swamp chestnut oak had good survival, but the smallest increase in basal area.
		Condition of the water tupelo planting stock was highly variable, leading to inconsistent survival and growth.

	The Effects of Intermittent Flooding on Seedlings of Three Forest Species
		Under greenhouse conditions, seedlings of three forest species, baldcypress (Taxodium distichum), nuttall oak (Quercus nuttallii), and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii) were subjected to an intermittent flooding and subsequent physiological and growth responses to such conditions were evaluated.
		Thus baldcypress and nuttall oak showed superior performance under frequent intermittent flooding regimes due to several factors including the ability for rapid recovery of gas exchange soon after soil was drained.
		In contrast, swamp chestnut oak seedlings failed to resume gas exchange functions after the removal of flooding.
