Name: Quercus alba - Carya alba / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum West Gulf Coastal Plain Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This acidic hardwood forest dominated by Quercus alba occurs west of the Mississippi River in the Upper West and West Gulf coastal plains. It occurs in dry-mesic habitats, similar to, but slightly drier than areas which support Fagus grandifolia. Pines (Pinus taeda, Pinus echinata) may be occasional, but if significant amounts are present they would be accommodated under other associations. Various other hardwood species are present, including Carya alba, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Nyssa sylvatica. A thick shrub layer may be present, dominated by Ilex vomitoria. Herbaceous species are infrequent and not diagnostic of this type.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19864.QUERCUSALBACARY Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
