Name: Pinus virginiana - Quercus (coccinea, prinus) Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes xeric forests with mixed evergreen/deciduous canopies composed primarily of Pinus virginiana co-occurring with Quercus coccinea and/or Quercus prinus. These forests often have ericaceous shrub strata, with Vaccinium spp. and Kalmia latifolia typical. This alliance includes both forests resulting from disturbance and forests maintained by harsh environmental conditions, including dry shale substrates and shallow rocky soils. Forests in this alliance occur on upper slopes and ridges of the Southern Blue Ridge (below 3000 feet), Ridge and Valley, Cumberland Plateau, and Piedmont.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18459.PINUSVIRGINIANA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
