Name: Pinus echinata - Pinus taeda - Quercus stellata / Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana / Cornus drummondii Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This calcareous woodland of the West Gulf Coastal Plain was first described from hilltops and upper slopes in Louisiana associated with the Cook Mountain Formation, in areas in or near areas mapped as Keiffer Clay. The concept has been expanded slightly to accommodate similar situations, associated with calcareous prairies, on the Fleming Formation in eastern Texas. The canopy is dominated by Pinus echinata, Pinus taeda, Quercus stellata, Fraxinus americana, Carya myristiciformis, Ulmus alata, Quercus alba, Quercus shumardii, and (because of fire suppression) Liquidambar styraciflua. Subcanopy species include Cornus florida, Crataegus marshallii, Quercus marilandica, Ostrya virginiana, Chionanthus virginicus, Cercis canadensis var. canadensis, Viburnum rufidulum, Frangula caroliniana, and Juniperus virginiana var. virginiana. Shrubs and woody vines include Cornus drummondii, Vaccinium arboreum, Viburnum dentatum, Aesculus pavia var. pavia, Sideroxylon lanuginosum, Toxicodendron radicans, Berchemia scandens, Vitis rotundifolia, Smilax bona-nox, Smilax rotundifolia, Trachelospermum difforme, and Cocculus carolinus. Herbs include Chasmanthium sessiliflorum (dominant), Scleria oligantha, Oxalis violacea, Mitchella repens, Euphorbia corollata, Aristolochia serpentaria, Sanicula canadensis, Ruellia humilis, Dichanthelium commutatum, Tragia betonicifolia, and Baptisia nuttalliana. This community is a drier woodland associated with and grading to Quercus shumardii - Fraxinus americana - Carya myristiciformis / Viburnum dentatum / Carex cherokeensis Forest (CEGL007194).
