Name: Quercus muehlenbergii - Quercus alba / Cercis canadensis / Dirca palustris Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Rich forests on moderately steep slopes of the Ridge and Valley over dolomitic limestones of the Knox Group (for example Chapultepec and Copper Ridge dolomites). Dominated by a mixture of Quercus muehlenbergii and Quercus alba, with Quercus rubra and Quercus velutina in smaller amounts. Fraxinus americana is also present in the canopy. The relatively open subcanopy contains Acer saccharum and Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana. Cercis canadensis var. canadensis and Asimina triloba are present as tall shrubs or small trees. Low shrubs include Rhus aromatica var. aromatica, Dirca palustris, Viburnum prunifolium, and small individuals of Aesculus flava. Herbs present include Bromus pubescens, Brachyelytrum erectum, Hexastylis arifolia var. ruthii, Collinsonia canadensis, Sanicula odorata, Geranium maculatum, Euphorbia mercurialina, Sanguinaria canadensis, Maianthemum racemosum, Thaspium barbinode, Prenanthes sp., and Polystichum acrostichoides. Some small patches of Arundinaria gigantea are also present. This association has been observed on the TNC Powell River Preserve in Claiborne County, Tennessee. It is likely found in adjacent Virginia (Lee County).  Accession Code: VB.CC.22704.QUERCUSMUEHLENB Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
