Name: Quercus hemisphaerica - Carya glabra Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance includes Coastal Plain dry-mesic to subxeric sandy forests, with mixed broad-leaved evergreen-deciduous composition. Typical species include Quercus hemisphaerica, Carya glabra, Carya pallida, Quercus virginiana, Pinus taeda, Pinus glabra, Magnolia grandiflora, and Osmanthus americanus var. americanus. Fagus grandifolia may be present within its range (which includes Florida Panhandle but not extreme southeastern Georgia). Sabal palmetto may also be present. Dominance by Quercus hemisphaerica indicates that fire has been excluded from these forests for a period of many years; Quercus hemisphaerica is probably more widespread than in pre-settlement times. In Florida, this vegetation is partly described as well-developed xeric forest dominated by Quercus hemisphaerica, Quercus virginiana, and Magnolia grandiflora in the canopy, and Persea borbonia, Ilex opaca, and Carya glabra in the understory.
