Name: Pinus (echinata, taeda) - Quercus (stellata, marilandica, falcata) Woodland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... 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.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18323.PINUSECHINATATA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
