Name: A.94
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes young, monospecific plantation stands of ~Pinus echinata$. These are cultivated forests which do not represent or approximate natural or near-natural vegetation structure. They are typically maintained as plantations for the harvest of forest products. The core concept of stands in this alliance are those which are artificially regenerated to dense stands which are managed and maintained for the extraction of forest products. Stands may be established with mechanical planting, but may also be established through other means. In most cases these stands support almost no other tree species in the overstory, and typically very little understory. This alliance rarely exceeds 20-40 years of age on most timberlands.
