Name: Quercus virginiana - Quercus pagoda Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Wet-mesic forests of the Outer Coastal Plain of Louisiana, occurring on low ridges of the antecedent Mississippi River. Forests of related environments of South Carolina and possibly Georgia are included here as well. This alliance as presently defined is near the upland/wetland boundary; examples are constantly moist and sometimes have a high water table. The canopy is dominated by Quercus virginiana, Magnolia grandiflora, and Quercus pagoda, with lesser amounts of Liquidambar styraciflua and Quercus nigra. The open understory consists of Cornus florida, Ilex opaca var. opaca, and Ilex decidua. Woody vines are abundant, especially Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Toxicodendron radicans, and Campsis radicans. The herb layer is well-developed and includes species such as Asplenium platyneuron, Sanicula sp., Elephantopus carolinianus, and Thelypteris kunthii.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19223.QUERCUSVIRGINIA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
