Name: Quercus rubra - Quercus muehlenbergii / Hamamelis virginiana / Polymnia canadensis Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents forests on sheltered dolomite slopes in the Southern Blue Ridge with canopies dominated by Quercus spp., Juglans nigra, and Magnolia acuminata. However, a small amount of the canopy and understory is always composed of calciphilic canopy species more characteristic of areas west of the Blue Ridge, including Quercus muehlenbergii and Juglans cinerea. The dominant shrub is Hamamelis virginiana, but other shrubs include Calycanthus floridus, Cornus alternifolia, and Hydrangea arborescens. The herbaceous layer is lush and diverse, with typical species including Impatiens spp., Hybanthus concolor, Polymnia canadensis, Laportea canadensis, Aquilegia canadensis, Adiantum pedatum, Sanguinaria canadensis, and Asarum canadense.
