Name: Castanea dentata - Quercus prinus Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community, dominated by various mixtures of Castanea dentata and Quercus prinus, sometimes strongly dominated by Castanea dentata, is broadly defined and poorly known, since the type is now extinct due to the reduction of Castanea dentata to a stump-sprouting shrub by the introduction and spread of Cryphonectria parasitica (Chestnut Blight). This community was once common in the southern Appalachian Mountains. There is some hope for the potential recovery of this community, or something resembling it, if a blight-resistant chestnut can be developed and introduced.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21190.CASTANEADENTATA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
