Name: Fagus grandifolia - Quercus alba - Quercus laurifolia / Galax urceolata Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community occurs on moist river bluffs in the Outer Coastal Plain of Virginia and possibly North Carolina. Fagus grandifolia is a conspicuous and diagnostic component of the mixed canopy in stands of this type; other species include Quercus alba, Quercus laurifolia, Liquidambar styraciflua, Acer rubrum, Quercus nigra, Ulmus americana, Quercus falcata, and Pinus taeda. Shrubs can include Sassafras albidum, Vaccinium elliottii, Calycanthus floridus, Vaccinium stamineum, and Vaccinium fuscatum. Galax urceolata is a conspicuous component of the herbaceous stratum. Soils are presumably strongly acid, and the slope and proximity to rivers or streams maintains microclimates suitable for Galax urceolata.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20312.FAGUSGRANDIFOLI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
