Name: A.2011
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes stands of vegetation in the Coastal Plain west of the Mississippi River which are dominated by ~Pinus echinata$ or ~Pinus taeda$ either solely or in combination, with a diagnostic component of ~Quercus stellata$. Other species which may be locally important in the overstory include ~Quercus marilandica, Quercus falcata, Carya texana$, and ~Carya alba$. This vegetation was historically subject to frequent fires which created relatively open, woodland structure and in some case species-rich understories. Most current examples have been fire-suppressed for varying time periods and consequently are more densely wooded and believed to be less species-rich than historically.
