Name: Quercus rubra - Quercus alba - Carya glabra / Geranium maculatum Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This forest is restricted to submesic Piedmont sites of mid to lower slopes with northerly to easterly aspects. Overstory dominance is often shared among Quercus rubra, Quercus alba, and Carya glabra, with Liriodendron tulipifera frequently occupying canopy gaps. The understory contains Cercis canadensis, Calycanthus floridus, and Fraxinus americana in canopy gaps. Other herbaceous associates include Sanguinaria canadensis, Polystichum acrostichoides, and Actaea racemosa (= Cimicifuga racemosa). Somewhat drier Piedmont stands and/or those with less Quercus rubra are generally accommodated by CEGL008475.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18642.QUERCUSRUBRAQUE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
