Name: Quercus alba - Quercus hemisphaerica / Prunus caroliniana - Persea borbonia - Viburnum acerifolium Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest occurs on mesic slopes along the southwestern periphery of the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Quercus hemisphaerica and Quercus alba are strongly dominant in the overstory of most known examples. The midstory is dominated by Viburnum acerifolium and Persea borbonia, with Mitchella repens and Smilax pumila in the understory. The small geographic region where this type has been documented is near the southwestern range terminus of many typically southeastern species, and lies just outside the range of several important species in related mesic forests which occur just eastward of this type, such as Fagus grandifolia, Acer rubrum, Acer barbatum, as well as many rich forest herbs.
