Name: Pinus taeda - Quercus (phellos, nigra, laurifolia) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance covers mixed loblolly-hardwood forests of primarily blackwater rivers of the eastern Coastal Plain and related small stream floodplains west of the Mississippi River. Stands are dominated by Pinus taeda with any combination of the nominal Quercus species (e.g., Quercus laurifolia, Quercus nigra, Quercus phellos). Some stands could originate as Pinus taeda plantations, with subsequent ingrowth of the hardwoods. These situations confound the status of this alliance as distinct from its deciduous equivalent (A.292). See the description for the I.B.2.N.d Quercus (phellos, nigra, laurifolia) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance (A.292) which is very similar, but lacks a significant component of Pinus taeda. This alliance perhaps uncomfortably combines natural, ecologically restricted situations (e.g., CEGL007548 of "sandy blackwater streams and on low, sandy terraces and levees in the Atlantic Coastal Plain") as well as more semi-natural or successional situations under less restricted or clearly defined conditions.
