Name: Pinus echinata - Quercus alba / Viburnum (dentatum, acerifolium) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This mesic to dry-mesic forest of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is typified by an overstory of both Pinus echinata and Quercus alba. In high-quality examples, Pinus taeda is rare to absent as would have been expected in most areas of the presettlement landscape. Quercus alba may be more important than Pinus echinata in some examples, possibly those which have received the least amount of disturbance. These are normally closed forests above a well-developed subcanopy of mixed hardwoods. The density and composition of the shrub and herbaceous layers vary greatly depending upon a number of factors, including the range of moisture and potential nutrient conditions which are possible in stands assigned to this type. Viburnum dentatum and Viburnum acerifolium are listed as nominals suggesting the most mesic stands of this type; somewhat less mesic examples may lack these species.
