Name: Pinus virginiana Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes forests dominated by Pinus virginiana and occurring in the Piedmont from Pennsylvania south to Alabama, and ranging west into the Appalachians, Ridge and Valley, the Cumberland Plateau, and in scattered locales of the Interior Low Plateau. Forests in this alliance may have admixtures of Pinus taeda, Pinus echinata, Pinus pungens, and/or Pinus rigida. These other species, if present, can have canopy coverage between 1 and 50%. Other associated species vary with the geographic distribution of the alliance. In many associations, a dense ericaceous shrub stratum is typical. This alliance includes both early-successional forests resulting from natural or anthropogenic disturbances and natural forests in edaphically extreme situations. Typically, Pinus virginiana communities are short-lived as a forest and are more common as woodland communities [see Pinus (rigida, pungens, virginiana) - Quercus prinus Woodland Alliance (A.677)]. Associated species vary with the geographic distribution of the alliance.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19033.PINUSVIRGINIANA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
