Name: Quercus velutina - Carya pallida - (Pinus echinata) / Vaccinium arboreum / Yucca filamentosa Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This dry to dry-mesic forest of the East Gulf Coastal Plain is dominated by Quercus velutina with smaller amounts of Quercus alba, Carya pallida, and Carya glabra. The relatively high importance value for Quercus velutina is distinctive and characteristic. Other Quercus species may be present in the canopy (for example Quercus falcata, Quercus laevis, and Quercus margarettiae) as well as Pinus taeda and occasional Pinus palustris. The precise canopy values for the codominant or associated species may depend greatly on the relative isolation from natural fire of the habitat, and the length of the fire-return time for a particular stand. The subcanopy may contain any of the canopy species. The open tall-shrub stratum includes Vaccinium arboreum (which may dominate), Osmanthus americanus, Acer barbatum, Cornus florida, and Ilex opaca (an occasional individual of which could enter the subcanopy). The stature and abundance of components in this stratum could vary greatly with the recent fire history. Low shrubs include Vaccinium stamineum, Quercus hemisphaerica, Viburnum rufidulum, Sideroxylon lanuginosum, Diospyros virginiana, Asimina parviflora, Aesculus pavia, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Yucca filamentosa (which may be prominent in this stratum). The sparse to patchy ground layer contains Smilax pumila, Vitis rotundifolia, Gelsemium sempervirens, Danthonia sericea, Schizachyrium scoparium, Coreopsis major, Tephrosia virginiana, and Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21144.QUERCUSVELUTINA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
