Name: Fagus grandifolia - Magnolia grandiflora - Quercus alba / Carpinus caroliniana - Ostrya virginiana - Ilex opaca var. opaca Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This West Gulf Coastal Plain beech-magnolia forest displays a well-developed three-layered structure; a closed upper canopy of Fagus grandifolia with occasional representatives of Magnolia grandiflora, Liquidambar styraciflua, Quercus nigra, and Quercus alba. Midstory trees are prevalent, with Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana and Ostrya virginiana being most important, although Ilex opaca var. opaca, Cornus florida, and Nyssa sylvatica are also common components. The relatively sparse shrub stratum is dominated by Ilex vomitoria, Callicarpa americana, Hamamelis virginiana, Frangula caroliniana, Styrax americanus, and Vaccinium elliottii. The woody vine Vitis rotundifolia can be abundant. An herbaceous stratum of species typical of mesic, acid, hardwood forests of the region is sparsely present amid dense hardwood leaf litter.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18890.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
