Name: Pinus echinata - Pinus taeda - Quercus (alba, falcata, stellata) Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest association of the West Gulf and Upper West Gulf ecoregions is codominated by Pinus echinata and Pinus taeda with some combination of the nominal oaks, Quercus alba, Quercus falcata, and Quercus stellata. Stands assigned to this type should have near-equal proportions of at least two of the nominal oak species; stands which are more obviously dominated by a single species are covered by other associations. These are apparently natural forests that may occur both within and beyond the range of Pinus palustris. They tend to occur on slopes and in non-riverine flatwoods environments. They generally occupy sites of intermediate moisture status somewhat drier than typical Pinus taeda communities, and somewhat more mesic than typical Pinus echinata or Pinus palustris communities.
