Name: Quercus alba - Quercus nigra - Carya pallida - (Quercus pagoda) / Magnolia (grandiflora, macrophylla) Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This is a mesic Southern Mixed Hardwood Forest found on midslopes in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi and possibly other states. The canopy contains a diverse assemblage of hardwoods such as Quercus alba, Quercus nigra, Quercus hemisphaerica, Liriodendron tulipifera, Carya pallida, Fraxinus americana, and Ulmus americana. Scattered individuals of Pinus taeda may be present in the canopy, but do not typically contribute 25% or more to the canopy. In addition to individuals of the canopy species, Magnolia macrophylla may be prominent in the subcanopy; along with Magnolia grandiflora and other mesic-affiliated species of the region. A diverse shrub layer is also generally present, and woody vines are typically prominent. Arundinaria gigantea may also be prominent in some examples. The herbaceous layer may be rather sparse to well-developed, containing species such as Polystichum acrostichoides, Smilax pumila, Phegopteris hexagonoptera, Aristolochia serpentaria, Dioscorea villosa, and Chasmanthium sessiliflorum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23828.QUERCUSALBAQUER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
